It's nothing fancy. No huge tower, no huge rigs or fancy gear.
It's rather plain.
An Icom IC-706MkIIG sits on my desk atop an LDG AT-7000 tuner. Outside in the yard I throw up a Diamond BB7V vertical. Power comes from an Astron RS-20A. I use the stock microphone.
My logbook which I started on 16 October 2003 has sixteen entries.
For mobile operation I have a Radio Shack HTX-242 which runs on 2-meters. I have a Radio Shack HTX-202 2-meter handi-talkie. I also picked up a Yaesu VX-6 when I "retired" the 202.
I've been trying to get back into ham radio a bit more; I'm usually just casually tuning around without really trying to contact anyone. But it's time for Field Day 2012! I've worked three other field days in the past and always had fun. My personal HF attempts were generally lackluster. I think I need to figure out what's wrong with my signal.
