KG4AFY

Hey!  I'm Andrew, KG4AFY.  I became a Tech No-code back in September of 1998 in Tuscaloosa Alabama.  Between 2007 and Feb 2021, I was located in Hattiesburg, MS, but moved back to Tuscaloosa. 

I've always been interested in radio, but moved to the big leagues in '98 when I met a teacher at my high school who was a ham radio operator (KS4YT).  Both Bridget and Alan (KV4T) helped me get into radio'ing at the time and even let me borrow a 2-meter all-mode radio I could use for a year or two.

I am active on 2 (SSB, FM, APRS,Winlink), 6, and 10 meters!  My radios in the house consist of:

Yeasu FT-847, Yeasu FT-891,FTM-100D.

LDG AT-200Pro II Autotuner

MFJ TNC-X Packet Controller for Winlink, APRS, etc.

House Antennas:

At this time, all of the antennas mentioned below are in my attic.

For 2 meters, I have a 5/8 wave with radials and a 2-meter squalo for SSB/Weak signal.  For 6 meters, I have a squalo.  10-Meters I have a 10-Meter MFJ dipole (Hamsticks).  I am trying to figure out how to move all of these antennas out of the attic.

In the car, I run an FTM-400D with a dual band antenna.

Additionally, I have several HTs:  Yeasu FT1XD, Baofeng (several laying around), Radioshack (yes, a 202, does not work though). 

Not currently using, but I also have a Yeasu FTM-7800, Yeasu FTM-3200D, and a RadioShack 242 2-meter mobile (yes, it still works).
