Yaesu FTM-7250 serves as the shack work radio for local simplex, FM/C4FM repeater, and YSF to DMR via two Pi-Star hotspots.
This antenna by pure coincidence is also resonant on 220 Mhz. Such a deal!



W5SDC (pre digital era)


FM, HF and SSB antennas in 2004. Gone now, but never forgotten.


Wrecked by a winter storm blast on Feb 1, 2011. The top North guy wire snapped during a wind gust.



My legacy HF radio table in those days. The Alinco DR-235 220 monobander (lower right corner)
is the only radio still in service today on it's monoband 1/4 wave Ugly Duck dipole.
