HF
I have an Icom 756Pro, which I purchased from Waters and Stanton. This really is a beautiful rig and will keep me happy for a long time. Apart from the poor internal keyer, which I replaced with a Logikey, I have nothing but praise.
Despite what I've said about the Icom 756Pro, I purchased an Elecraft K2 kit back in December 2004. I started to build it, but what with all the changes in my life since then it is sitting in a box awaiting a bit more of my time.
I also have a Yaesu FT817 for portable work and Summits On the Air (SOTA, though I am yet to get going on that.
VHF/UHF
- Yaesu FT736R transceiver fitted with 6M, 2M and 70cms modules and [Mutek] front end. I intend disposing of this as I do no VHF/UHF work at all except for mobile stuff for RAYNET
- Alinco DR560 VHF/UHF hand-held radio. Used almost exclusively for RAYNET activities.
- Icom IC-E92D VHF/UHF hand-held with D-Star capability
Aerials
Due to severe space restrictions, on HF I am using a long wire tuned by a SG 230 antenna coupler.
On VHF I used to have a 6 ele X-Yagi on the front of the house, but when we had an extension built this all came down and has not been put back up again, so all I have at the moment is a 7/8 vertical on 2M and a 3 x 5/8 on 70cm; both of them in the extension’s roof space.
