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.

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.

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.
