zl4kf station
Presently the station equipment consists of an elderly Yaesu FT901DM along with the YO901 'Scope, Heathkit SB220 and other
accessories, all rather old but still working.. The mic is about the newest thing (10 years old!) - a Heil HM-109.
For antennas I have a home-brew 3 element 20 meter Yagi on a tower which can be raised to 90 feet but more
normally sits at about 75 feet. Although it's not a large, long-boom antenna it works very well and is about as large an
antenna as I can reliably use here on the hill-top where it is often very windy.
For 80 meters I have a nearly full size vertical on the roof of a large corrugated iron workshop roof. There are a number of
elevated radials attached to this as well and it works quite well for DX.
