Yaesu FT-991A
My first HF transceiver. Max 100W output, used for digital modes, SSB and FM. Mounted on a portable plate to quickly deploy it to my shacks or take it into the field for mobile operations.
Yaesu FT-736R
My oldtimer for 23cm, 70cm and 2m at my QTH. Connected with a triplexer to Diamond X5000. Build in 1988. 25W on 70cm and 2m. 10W on 23cm. Repaired with working VFO encoder and channel dial. Retrofitted with FTS-8 module. Original Yaesu MD-1 microphone.
Xiegu G90
A gift of my friend Peter DA6PS. He had this radio twice, as the first one seemed to be broken. With some firmware tricks, my toolbox and crimp pliers I was able to resolve most issues and it now replaces the Yaesu FT-818ND on our journeys. Perfect for QRP and outdoor activities. More about the Xiegu G90 here.
Yaesu FTM-500DE
Used for receiving and transmitting in our mobile home or Defender. 50W FM on 70cm and 2m. Build in APRS modem.
Xiegu X6100
Doesn’t he already have a Xiegu G90* for portable operation? Yes! But somehow I couldn’t keep my hands off the Xiegu X6100*. Integrated data modem, noise reduction, and a much higher resolution display than the G90. But only 10W of real QRP. If Xiegu brings out a combination of both devices, I’ll buy it immediately.
Yaesu FT-5DE
HT mainly used for satellite operations and to take part in the local club round from the terrace. Operated with Diamond RH-771 antenna or with Arrow Antenna 146/437-10BP.
Yaesu FT-23R
Inherited from Dad.
Alinco
Inherited from my Dad DL8YDP/SK
Arrow 146/437-10BP
From time to time, I experiment with satellites or the ISS crossband repeater. The most difficult thing about this antenna? If you’re not used to it, your arm really hurts quickly.
Main-Shack
In the winter months my shack is located in the attic of our house. Here I have a heating and a cozy room which already my parents used to operate from.
Summer-Shack
In the summer months, I take most of my equipment downstairs, because it’s too hot in the attic – or I’m too lazy to climb up the attic.
Wavelog
Logbook software installed as a cloud solution. Highly integrated in QRZ.com, LoTW and eQSL. See the project here.
