Hello, de W2NRA

Amateur Radio Station W2NRA as of
August 2008
| My station includes a new Yaesu FT-2000D, Ameritron AL-800 amplifier, a Ten-Tec Model 238B tuner, a microHAM microKEYER II Interface (for WinKey CW, SO2V Digital modes and DVK SSB). The computer is a 3 year old home brew with an AMD Athlon 64 Dual Core Processor, 2 Gig of RAM, 3 high speed Western Digital Raptor hard drives (best computer I've ever owned). Antennas are a 17 year old Mosley TA-53M for 6m, 10m, 12m, 15m, 17m, & 20m, an Alpha-Delta DX-A Twin Sloper for 30m & 160m and a Buckmaster OCF Dipole for 40m & 80m. |
Ham IV Rotor on homemade support plate
| These photos show my refurbished Create Rooftop Tower. This month (July 2008) I made a new rotor support from angle aluminum, installed a new rotor and rotor cable, replaced the guy wires with Phillystran HPTG21001 (2100 lbs. breaking strength) and Phillystran Guy Grips hardware (These work very effectively like Chinese finger cuffs and are easy to install) and installed a new coax feedline. This 17 year old antenna is performing like new. |
| My station with my Ten-Tec Omni VII, Ameritron AL-800 amplifier, a Ten-Tec Model 238B tuner, a G3LIV Isoterm Multicon FSK Interface (for Digital modes and DVK SSB) and a WinKey serial keyer for CW. That's Maxie, my 12 year old (almost) Hahns Macaw sitting on my shoulder. |
| Photo showing my station with new rig, the Ten-Tec Omni VII. BTW there is a reason my callsign is W2NRA. Can you spot 2 of the reasons in this photo? Can you guess the make, model and caliber? Here's a hint. I don't do wimpy calibers. |
