| Introduction | Who is N4NSS? I like to backpack into some of Florida’s wilderness areas. Yes,there are some real nice ones near the Tampa Bay area. My trusty Yeasu FT-817 goes with me in the pack with all the necessary gear to make it work. I like to try different types of antennas and their variations. Some are experimental and some are the standard kind. I have had about fifteen or so different station set-ups since I became a Ham as WA9USD in 1966. My first set was a Knight Kit T60 with the R-55 receiver. The antenna was a 130-foot wire switched between the receiver and transmitter by an alligator clip attached to a screwdriver. The screwdriver was stuck into the center hole of the coax connectors in each rig. Yes, I was really new at this Ham radio stuff! I like building kits and putting parts together to make gadgets. You can find me using CW, SSB, PSK-31, and other modes. I now have an IC-7000 with the AH-4 tuner. All-band operation with the shark antenna! I'm also going to hook up the FT-857D and the FC-40 tuner with a switch at the antenna wire side so I can use either radio. |
