HF Radio

Enjoy running a Yaesu FT-991A with MFJ-993B antenna tuner.

Center Fed Multi-band 1/2 wave Dipoles 75 [shortened with coils on both ends], 40/20/15/10/6m & 17/12. So there are [3] dipoles & [1] 2m/70cm antennas installed in the attic due to HOA restrictions.  I currently operate a HF rig with a Inrad W1 headset & footswitch.

VHF/UHF Radio

Active in 2m & 70cm, running a Yaesu FTM-100D with a JetStream JTB3 also in attic.  Also operating Fusion & learning every day.

Operating DMR handheld radio – Ailunce HD1. Also a Yaesu FT-70D & Retevis RT85 handheld radios.

QSL CARDS

I do mail QSL Cards via USPS & enjoy receiving them also, no SASE required, also 3905ccn & OMISS GIB.

I consider it part of the hobby to trade QSL Cards. I also send & receive QSL cards via email: NI0A@yahoo.com.  If I can’t afford the postage then I am in the wrong hobby.  But as supply of QSL Cards are dwindling I have decided to print my QSL Cards myself, hopefully this will help with making the contact more personal.  Sorry but with the times changing things have to change. But rest asured you will be mailed DIRECT or card sent to 3905ccn Bureau & OMISS Bureau for every QSO contact I make.  If you do not receive one please let me know & I will resend it.  I promise I will get you a card.  I mail QSL Cards weekly.
