You can catch me on the 80, 40, 30, 20, 17 and 15 meter bands operating bpsk31,olivia, mfsk16 and occasional CW using the Yaesu FT-897D at a nominal power level of 25 watts feeding the primary operating antenna, the Hustler 6BTV ground mounted with 68 surface mounted radials. Included as part of the HF antenna farm is a single feed fan-type dipole for 80, 40, 20 and 17 meters up about 25 feet. Present communications software is the MixW 2.19 multimode in combination with the DXLABS DXkeeper database for all contact logging for upload to EQSL and LOTW via the HP ZV6000 notebook. I have also incorporated the use of an external USB Altec Lansing sound card with a homebrew audio isolation and keying circuit interface with the Yaesu CT62 data cable for radio CAT control via the MixW Multimode program. I also perform satellite tracking via the NLSA satellite software to determine the best AOS schedule for packet and FM voice contacts on ISS, PCSAT and AO-51.
