Equipment
Description or photos of equipment I either use or am familiar with.
 I use a Yaesu FT DX3000 (Above) for my station operations. 100 Watt output. |
I use a Gap Antenna model Titan-DX Which looks like the picture (Right). I'm on my second Titan-DX. I had one up on the roof for 10 years, took it down to build a garage, and just recently purchased a new one to replace the original. I relocated this antenna to Virginia. |

 This (Above) is a Yo-Yo Antenna from http://www.hamradiofun.com/yo-yo-vee.htm Typically used in camping or Field Day outings. |
This particular antenna (Left) is easily built yourself. The plastic spools are those found in camping supplies as portable clothesline containers. Take the cord out, put wire in, measured for the band you want, and there you have a travel dipole. | |
