Hair once - NOT amateur radio
This photo shows my student union card in 1967 when I still had hair!!
6m
Outside of the Es season, the 6m band is sadly underused. This is a pity as it can be used for local chats.
One suitable rig is my Sixbox transceiver described on my main website and in my free PDF book.
V2000 vertical omni antenna
When operating on 6m (any mode) and for FM on 2m and 70cm I use the V2000 vertical omni antenna shown here.
The 2m halo is now not there and may be replaced with a 4m halo.

What is this?
This dates from 2011 and I have not a clue what this is. There is an SBL mixer and it looks like some sort of direct conversion RX, but I have no idea what it is! I obviously was breadboarding something. I guess I could trace the circuit.
10m WSPR QRP TX (Monday)
In the end, there was a quite good 10m Es opening on 10m yesterday.
Following the comment by Bas, I have changed the image format. I hope it is readable.4 Sept 2022
News of W5OLF - Jay?
Some weeks ago, I sent Jay (Wilson) W5OLF an email and got no reply, which is unusual. Has anybody any news please? He has been a great help to me and others.
