This is the view from the window of my ham shack in Crooked River Ranch, Oregon, looking out at Mount Jefferson.
Finished remodeling/reorganizing the ham shack desk this weekend.  Included in the remodel was a redesigned station grounding system, addition of the shelves, and clean up of the wiring rats nest.  Still a little more to do on the wiring but station is up and operating again.


My station includes the following equipment:

  • Alinco DM-330MV power supply
  • Kenwood TM-D700A dual bander for 2m/70cm operations
  • Yaesu FT-897D HF/VHF/UHF all-mode radio with LDG AT-897Plus and LDG FT-Meter
  • CDE Antenna Rotor controller
  • Icom 2100H 2m with MFJ-1278 which is in the process of being setup as my primary APRS station
  • Yaesu VX-8DR 6m/2m/1.25m/70cm handheld
  • Yaesu VX-5R 6m/2m/70cm handheld


Antennas for my station currently are:
  • Ventenna VT-27 for 2m/70cm voice and APRS via the D700
  • Cushcraft A50-5S 6m beam at 25'
  • G5RV for 80-10m HF operation

The antenna is a Cushcraft A50-5S, 5 element 6 meter yagi.  The photo was taken shortly after the antenna was put up.


Welcome to the K7TYE Amateur Radio Station Blog.  This will be a new endeavor for me as I move away from my old website and move all my stuff here to the blog.  I plan to keep a record of not only my ham radio activity but also my other hobbies and interests as well.  Keep checking back for updates and new stuff!
