It has been a long journey, but I have finally completed all of the station updates that were started over a year ago. Several of my ham friends came over to pull coaxial cables through conduit, connect coax to the entry panel, and align the rotator. I had some additional work inside the shack to set up a new amplifier and computer. After double-checking every connection and configuration, everything is working great and I am very happy with my (mostly) new station!
Outside I have a U.S. Tower MA-40 tower with Yaesu G-800DXA rotator turning a K4KIO hexbeam antenna with elements for 20-6M. I also have a MyAntennas 80-10M end-fed halfwave antenna, and a discone antenna for my scanner. These are all fed through underground conduit to a KF7P entry panel with Morgan Systems lightning arrestors for the coaxial and rotator cables.
Inside the shack, my station consists of a Icom IC-7610 transceiver and SPE Expert 1.5K-FA Taurus amplifier for HF. For CW, I use a UR5CDX paddle with a WinKeyer USB and MRP40 decoder software. For digital, I primarily use WSJT-X, but sometimes dabble in RTTY and other digital modes. I have a ERC Mini DX as a USB interface with the Yaesu control box, along with PstRotatorAZ software.
For VHF and UHF I have an Icom IC-97oo, as well as an Alinco DR-06TA for use on the local 6M repeater. I use a Uniden SDS-200 scanner to monitor various communication in the local area.
I also updated the TV I had over my station with a 43″ 4K Smart TV. It has 4 HDMI inputs so I can switch between displaying GeoChron and HamClock, or as a third monitor for the computer. I upgraded my trusty Windows 10 shack computer with a new Windows 11 computer. I have Raspberry Pi touchscreen display running WeatherFlow PiConsole software to display weather data from a WeatherFlow Tempest station. I have two MMDVMs, an OpenSpot 4 Pro and a TGIFSPOT 3.5 inch Nextion. Finally, there is a Google Nest Hub that I use as a photo frame and for streaming music and monitoring security cameras.
I am looking forward to many years of good DXing!
