Latest info
My new room station is getting better day by day... This is my latest build. (Nov 2019)
Wires now are well hidden but changes are very difficult. Needs "fine tuning"
ICOM IC-2730A
Really simple V/U VV/UU. Value for money.I got it from a friend who decided to leave VHF and UHF bands.I use it almost for Cross Band Repeater and as a low consumption unit.40 mA at standby mode makes a great battery friendly Rig!November 2020
ICOM IC-9700
Well... Local store had it on SUPER PRICE on Black Friday sales and here it is. I am planning to use it most for Digital (D-STAR). 1.2 GHz is a band that makes me curious.... I already bought a new antenna for SHF ... see below
November 2019

A new rig in town!
After a long period a YAESU again in my shack. I will use it most for QSO's at 2m SSB and Digital.

It's a 3band (VHF-UHF-SHF). I plan to use it on SHF band and partially at 70cm.
November 2019
SIGMA EUROCOM SE HF X-80 & HF-360 PLUS KIT
Latest installation for HF bands. Works better than i expected! SWR 1:1 from 80m to 6m bands after a very rough tuning evening.
Thank you Jim (SV1LHZ) for sharing your time and knowledge!!
//Update// Be noted that the UNUN has limited life against Digital modes when more that 25 Watts. I didn't know that and burnt mine. Hopefully changing the UNUN everything is back in normal. ....Phew !
May 2018
Diamond A502HB 6m 2 Element Yagi
Nice antenna works great at the 6m band. HB's are well known antennas for their efficiency when space is an issue.
March 2020
Diamond W-8010 80m to 10m with traps.
I've had this for a month and when I decided to install it I found out that there was a trap (14Mhz) and 2 cables were missing. The seller (www.meimaris.com) was kind enough to send me replacements.December 2020
