|    getting everything in shape...    |
|    06 Aug 17 20:33:30    |
      I've been getting my station back into shape the last couple of weeks. I had       a period of "non-interest" in ham radio for the last couple of years.              I took the entire station apart today and rearranged it a bit. Looks better       now and it's a bit more comfortable.              My station consists of an older beast-of-a-radio Kenwood TS-940S hf rig, a       Yaesu FT-900 hf radio and an old ADI AR-146 2 meter radio. Antennas are a       half-wave 20 meter dipole, a half-wave 75/80 meter dipole (which works very       well on 40 meters too) and a copper j-pole antenna for 2 meters. No external       tuner. Both hf radios have internal tuners that do the job just fine.              Band conditions have been so-so lately, coming and going as they do. I've       been spending time on 20 meters and 75/80 meters mostly and chatting with       some locals on the 2 meter repeater.              Everything is working nicely and I've made almost a dozen hf contacts in the       last few days :)              My callsign is: KG4CNA. Maybe we'll run into each other one day!              Thanks!       Orbitman (Allen)       telnet://orbitbbs.ddns.net:7210       Opp, Alabama, USA              --- Mystic BBS v1.12 A34 (Linux/32)        * Origin: Orbit BBS--telnet:orbitbbs.ddns.net:7210 (AL) (1:123/400)    |
