Great to hear about your equipment.

My list of radios is quite long but here goes, Icom IC-E92 D-Star with GPS mic, IC-E7 handy, IC-E2820 D-Star and the IC-706Mk2G with separation kit.

I have a Yaesu 817ND for SOTA with 12a and 7a SLAB and the SP2070 beam.

I have a Watson W-300 High Gain VHF / UHF vertical and a 19 Element Tona Beam. I do have a Wire Antenna around the garden in a horizontal loop but it's only 60ft long so I use CQ100 at home for HF.

In the car I have a Yaesu FTM-10E with Bluetooth and must say its great for the mobile operation.

I have a homemade G5RV for portable use and a 120a batery for backup in the shack if the power goes...

I also still have some work in the shack to do but with cost and time its on hold. Andy M3ZMO is making his atic into a shack. Maybe take a look at some photos of it on his website. www.freewebs.com/m3zmo

I have a Watson 25 Power Mite NF with another smaller one, a LDG AT-200 Pro ATU and some other bits.

Wow ,..nice set up !!!
Do you go on 80m ???

i do but 18 and 10 mtrs are my favotate bands followed by 20 top band very rare 80 and 40 when nothing else about but must admit only when i am after working a dx station

Nice Equipment indeed. Not so much time here at the moment as a lot of radios to review before the Christmas time. Favourite bands here are also 20m and 10m

hope to be working 10 on sunday from eu120 but will have to see on sat what work i have on

The above is what I can remember that I have & does not include things like a 6 meter linear & ATU, all of my HF ATU's or things like my old Yaesu Valve FTDX401 which will run at about 150 - 200 watts when I finally get it going, or the radios I have that are on loan from Gilwell Park for use at a local Scout group.

Nearly forgot...I have a Ham Int Concorde I think it is, plus I have a couple of old 27/81 40 channel CB's that I got for free from Freecycle.

Nice one Alan, I think that Freecycle is great.

I have spent an hour solering 6 resistors on my T1 ATU and am hoping to do some more this week...

We shall see lol

Other Freecycle radio related finds include.....
I picked up a couple of old analogue satellite TV receivers for someone to convert to Amateur TV RX's, so others can start in the hobby.
I have two really good folding tables that I use for special events & other such events.
I have an old Windows 98 PC that I intend loading with a PSK31 programme & a SSTV programme, so I can show these at special events.
