Pictures and Antenna Layout

 

 My Shack 2009
Left Pic... Top left is my home brew LED direction indicator for the rotator powered by the PS30. Radio's FT1000MP and FT450AT.
 Right Pic... The 40mtr Vertical is in the foreground, with tower and TH6DXX and 8ele 2mtr beam on top. 160&80mtr loops just visable.

My home brew Multi-Rig CW Keyer
4 Inputs - N1MM COM port keyer, CT Log LPT1 keyer,
straight key, and paddle with built in iambic keyer.
Keys up to 4 rigs.

     John, VK4CEJ and myself securing beams in place. TH6DXX & 8 element 2mtr.

My old trusty contest radio, the Kenwood TS-680is now superseded by a
Yaesu FT-450AT
interfaced with PC running CT Log, N1MM Logger, and
home brew CW keyer.
Antennas include
TH6DXX beam, 80mtr loop or 160mtr loop.

My Antenna Layout

I now have a full wave loop on 160m fitting symmetrically around the 80mtr loop.

Side elevation of house and antenna layout.  I have had 30+ signal reports from southern Australia
with the loop and 100watts.
