Amateur Radio Station N2OEF Information

Home Station QTH

Equipment

• Yaesu FTDX-101D
• LDG z11 Pro II
• Astron Power Supply

Antennas

The antenna farm here is a little bleak at the moment. I’ve been putting in efforts recently to improve things a bit but I also spend more time doing POTA then operating at home anyway, so no big deal.

• Homebrew Doublet 80-10
• 43' Vertical (currently out of commission)
• and my new addition operating at the QTH temporarily, DX Commander Expedition

Software

I primarily run N3FJP’s Amateur Contact log. I haven’t done any contests recently, but previously used N1MM+. I think going forward I’ll continue to use N3JP’s contest logging programs instead.

Future Improvements

Hopefully throughout the fall I get some work done. My plans are to get the vertical working again. I pulled coax up at the beginning of the year to cut the lawn and never layed it back down. Before that it was acting a little odd, possibly a loose connection.

I also noticed over the summer that the doublet is a little low and the rope is in pretty bad shape. I’ll need to get that restrung here before winter. It might find a new home too, seeing if it’ll fit where I’m thinking of putting it.
