Hello all.
Here is SM6KIW, Bo from Sweden.
QRV on hf, only with a dipole a few meters above the ground. My wife have a opinion about my antennas…
Two weeks ago she was on vacation in Finland an when she returned home there was a 3 el yagi for 6 meters on the roof
In the good old days a had a tower with 4 x 16 el on 144 and 8 x 21 el on 432 and 1k out… now I just built a QRP MKARS80 transceiver for 80 meters.
Hello
Name is Dave I live in Central Virginia.
I’m active on any band that has DX I need. I got my DXCC all through Logbook of the World.
Sometimes I can be found on 160m ragchewing. I have a small suburban lot but I’ve managed to pack a lot of antennas in it.
It’s been a fun hobby.
K3KO in Henderson, NC Currently WMR200A + solar.
DXing is main interest in CW, RTTY and SSB. Mostly HF but managed 6M DXCC.
This is my third weather station. First one was all HB sensors and HB logging program on a Radio Shack Color Computer. The second an AAG one wire octopus.
Wireless is much nicer than wired.
Hi all. Rick VE1GN, I’m not active right now but may be again in the future, who knows I was very active as a dxer and contester cw only. When I first started out I worked at VAR Saint John Coast Guard Radio but then moved over to the air traffic side of things. Talking to planes all day l didn’t feel much like being on a mike for my hobby so cw only for me. We also did the wx observing and briefing and I can’t seem to get that part out of my blood. I had a 6 element beam for 40 through 10 meters up 80 feet, Icom 756 and a legal limit amp. Oh yeah, and some friends who liked climbing towers I sure didn’t, my knees start knocking at about 5 feet.
Hello, i’m EA5ZF, Xavi in Spain
At this time only active in VHF and UHF, HF only used in RX, main EME antennas are down, now only small yagis os verticals.

G’day guys, I finally took the steps to become an Amateur Radio Operator around 18 months ago.
The story is that I first got interested when I was around 16 years old back in the old CB days, and discovered a neighbour who was a Ham. Back in those days there was the morse code requirements to get a licence, and I never had the interest in learning morse, so never got any further than the interest.
A couple of years back I heard that the morse requirement was dropped, which then got me interested enough to go out and get my Foundation licence. Within the next 12 months I upgraded to my Advanced Licence (full call), so now I am VK4BLP.
As you know, I’m down in the South East corner of Queensland, which on a map is just north of the most easterly point of Australia.
