Good Afternoon Everyone,
First let me welcome you to the group.? I will be uploading the files here in the next day or two as I go thru them to get rid of the duplicates.
My name is Russ Abbey, N4MAV and I live in the mountains of Virginia.? Actually South Western Virginia.? I've been here now for about 22 years and have 12 acres of land to play in....er work in.? I have enough wires enough to wrap the whole property and am hoping to be able to do so this cool weather we have had.? I am also in the process of putting up two towers.? One is a 40 foot Rohn 25 and the other one will be Rohn 45 and have I hope 130 feet but I think that may be to much for my climber to work with though.? And since he is a volunteer well I have to please him.?
I own mostly Yaesu equipment, FT-847, FT-2000D, FTM400DR (X=2), FT-736r (6,2,220, 440), FT-8800 (X=2), Icom 706M2G, TYT-9800 1-1/4 meter band (X=2), various HT's and a whole lot of test equipment I am learning to use.?
I was medically retired from the US. Navy in 1988 with sever back injuries so I had to have a hobby I could and can use daily.? So I became a ham and have not looked back.? Since I have a very short time I can be at my desk anymore it takes me a whole lot longer to do things and also keep up with the house and property.??
So there ya go.? Oh, I also have 5 and 10 GHz transverters I have yet to build, but that will be this winter.
