About Ray Amateur Radio Photography Neat Stuff Links

My call-sign is VE6RHS and I hold the Canadian Amateur Radio Basic, Advanced and 12wpm Morse Code license.  I've been a licensed and active amateur radio operator since December 1989.

In the above picture you can see an Icom IC-7100 receiver, a Fluke 8050A multi-meter, an Icom IC-R10E receiver, a Yaesu VX-5R handheld transceiver, a Uniden Bearcat BC-245XLT scanner, a GE Phoenix VHF transceiver, and a GE Century II UHF transceiver.  I also run a Kenwood TM-V7A dual-band mobile in my vehicle.  My main interests are SWL, Scanning, Communications Monitoring, VHF/UHF repeaters and linking, APRS, and other VHF, UHF, and microwave experiments.

Out of sight in the above photograph is the SARA IRLP node using Linux and a Motorola GM-300 UHF radio:

The house "Array" consists of two Diamond D-130J discones, a Diamond X510NA dual-band vertical, and a Diamond X50A dual-band vertical.  The RF feed-line is Cablewave LCF12-50JFN ½" foam coaxial cable using NF-LCF12-008 connectors.
