I also have a D-Star H/H and various other H/H's for various listening modes.My Antennas can be seen on the Antennas page.I also have the screen for the Weather Station on the bench.Having Mobility problems its so easy having all my radios in reach so as not having to sit in another room to play with my toys,and being single I can have cables running all over the place without GBH of the lugholes.I enjoy chasing SOTA Stations as they bring a lot of activity to the bands.If you hear me on the bands Please feel free to give me a call.I you want anything putting on here, such as events etc, please let me know, and i will do my best to accomodate youENJOY THE SITEPlease Note that my Shack never stays the same for long, in the spirit of Amateur Radio I try and test all sorts of configurations of radios etc.

A superb example of a Green Godess. I have driven one of these many years ago and they are a beast. No baffles in the water tank, so it sloshes about making the thing very unstable but fun.
