Started out on CB at age 10/11 when I first moved from Hackney to Basildon, Met my wife on the CB, and was doing weekly qrp nets for a while (few months), then moved to current address & Passed the RAE around April 1995, took a break around Feb 2005, recently restarted the hobby June 2018.

 

Currently livestream on Twitch.tv, mostly for gaming, but hoping to one day stream ham radio. Links: https://www.twitch.tv/truedevil & https://www.youtube.com/truedevil

Main Station Setup:

As I have a good PC for gaming & Livestreaming, I am using this for my Ham related software also, this is a home built, Core i7 3.3Ghz hexcore CPU, GTX 970 4Gb graphics card, 32Gb 3000Mhz ram, 144Hz & 60Hz dual monitors.

I also have Core i7 gaming laptop, which I may use remotely..

Log4OM2 for the logbook, Win4IcomSuite for the control, JTDX & Gridtracker for FT8, MMSSTV also, maybe more modes/software will come later.

Radios:

The current radios are an Icom 2350h dual-band 2mtr/70cms 50/35w mobile rig, and the other is a Yaesu VX-5R tri-band 6mtr/2mtr/70cms 5w Handheld. I used to use the handheld for Raynet, now it's only used randomly out & about, or in a car, with a tri-band Watson W-627 on a mag mount.

Antenna's:

6mtr high gain (on the left), up around 25feet to the base, don't remember the name, or how long ther antenna is.. Sorry..

2mtr/70cms Diamond X-510 (on the right), which is around 30feet to base, and 50feet to tip.

HF / 6mtr / 4mtr Radio:

This is the fantastic Icom IC-7300 HF, 6mtr & 4mtr radio, connected to my homebrew 5 band Cobweb, the 6mtr vertical, and hopefully at some point, a homebrew 40/80/160mtrs loft antenna, if it works in the loft at all..

Cobweb:

This is my homemade 5 band Cobweb (10, 12, 15, 17, 20), currently up around 20feet, with some stabilization guy lines, I'd like to get it to 30feet, if possible, thos it works ok where it is..
