As I have stated elsewhere, I became a Ham Radio Operator in the 70's with homebrewed equipment which has long since vanished. I now have a collection of older and new rigs and other devices. My biggest obstacle is an antenna. Living in a condo, I cannot put up any structure outside on "common" grounds. or attach anything to the structure itself. I like to work the lower bands and it's become a challenge to construct an inside antenna that works. Currently I'm using a 300 ohm twinlead line fed in the middle with 450 ohm ladder line and tied together on each end with a three foot wire going toward the floor. The antenna is on the second floor of the Condo and is fed with a MFJ-969 tuner. It is constructed to 1/2 wave on the lower end of 40 meters. I have been able to make contacts on 80, 40, 30, 17 and 15 with this antenna. For 20 meters I have used both a home built loop, pictured on this site, and another MFJ product that was designed to go in the windowsill.
I have a small collections of Heathkit rigs which I'm rebuilding or modifying. Among them is a HW-101 and SB-200 transciever and linear amp. I combine those with two QRP rigs, HW-7 and HW-8 a HR-1680 reciever a Heathkit HD-1410 Keyer, a Vibroplex key, #99285 and a Japanese version of the J37 straight key which I've referbished which completes my collections of older rigs and devices.
For my newer equipment I have two iCom transcievers, a IC-7300, an IC-7100 and an IC-2300H. My HT's are a Baofeng UV5Rx3 and a TYT-2017 DMR HT. My mobil rig is a TYT-9600 also DMR capable which is currently in ths "shop" since December 2017 and still not back as of April 23, 2018.
