MY STATION
EQUIPMENT
The rig is an Icom 746Pro. Just above the rig is a Palstar AT1KM 1200W Antenna Tuner. When QRO is necessary I fire up my 700W Ameritron AL-811 Amplifier. I use a Kantronics KAM PLUS TNC for RTTY and HF PACTOR. For PSK31 and other digital modes I use a Signalink USB interface to key the rig. The station is run using the free DXLab Suite of programs, including DXKeeper for Logging and WinWarbler for RTTY and PSK31. My latest computer is a custom-built Pentium 4. The station is set up on an old card table in my bedroom. I built the shelves myself in my Dad's woodworking shop.
