Station setup in December 2023

I decided to stop making excuses and set up whatever antenna I could. It started with a SuperAntenna set up in the living room, and moved to a homebrew quadrant dipole with the G90.

The Xiegu G90, Yaesu FT-817, and Z-817 ATU with the Signalink. This was my old set up with 20m and 10m dipoles strung about five feet off the ground.
Homebrew dipole.

Currently, I’m using

  • A Xiegu G90
  • A Powerwerx SS30DV switching power supply
  • A Digirig
  • A Framework laptop running Ham Radio Deluxe and WSJT-X.

My current locator is CM97cq.

I wrote about this set up in Chasing waterfalls and Antenna update: it’s a quadrant antenna, apparently.

Station setup in September 2020

The Xiegu G90, Yaesu FT-817, and Z-817 ATU with the Signalink. This was my old set up with 20m and 10m dipoles strung about five feet off the ground.

My old set up was at locator CM87ut. I had a 20m dipole and 10m dipole strung along the side fence, and

  • An FT-817
  • A Z817 autotuner
  • A Xiegu G90 added later
  • A Thinkpad running Ubuntu with WSJT-X. My logging wasn’t great here.
