I started in Ham Radio in 1989.  LOVE NASCAR (Duh) and my yellow Lab, Shenia.  Tom was nice enough to give me some space on his site to post some info and Pics!  My current station is the Icom 761 running 150 watts, 2-element 40M Beam @ 63' (my "OUTDOOR" Amplifier), Yeasu FL-2100 Amp, 3-element Mosley Tribander @ 42' for 10-20M, Icom 706MKII Mobile On the Tri-bander for 10-20M, Icom 2800M, 4-element 2M beam @ 46'.  I also enjoy the computer, and am at n7nmy@bresnan.net.   Look me up!  Thanks for dropping by, and more pics will be posted soon!  You can catch me most evenings on 7.198 with WB4UIC and others, and on 7.200 in the mornings on the NorthCARS net.  Best 73!!  Bob N7NMY  "Pa-Ting!!"

Update 10 Sept '08

Well, the beam is back up!  Check out pics here of 40M 2 ele @ 63'

UPDATE!!!  26 April 08

Well, the 40M Beam is back together, and ready to hang back back on the tower - when the WX Breaks!  So, I will post a picture of it HERE when I have one.  Wish me luck!

UPDATE!!!  1 July 07

The 2 ELE 40m Beam is on the ground!  Using a 40M/75M Alpha-Delta dipole in the interim @ 50' - Works OK, but not like the Beam!!  

I Replaced the feedpoint coil and coax, as I believe the feed point was the intermittent problem.   So, the thing is just waiting on a new rotor and it's back in the air!  Oh yea -- the ROTOR!!!  Well, it was ALL CRAPPED OUT, teeth missing on the thing, and lots of other problems.  NO WONDER IT WOULDN'T TURN!  Anyway, when I get a new rotor, I'll go back up with the beam and be ready to ROCK-N-ROLL!!!!  Look Out - The OUTDOOR-AMP is going back up soon!  See you on the bands!!

UPDATE!!!  5 Sep 07

Upon further review of the space and rotator situation, I decided to take the 40M beam apart for the winter - BUMMER!  Anyway, I will get it back up in the Spring of '08 with a little help!  HI!  Still got the 40M /75M wire up, and it does OK for now.  More work coming!  08!!!!

Nov '07 - SB200 Re-Build Project
