Right now this page only contains information about the current station. In the future, it will talk about my past setups. 73

+ +My station is not much: + + +My main HF rig is a Yaesu FT-1000MP Mark-V with a MFJ-974HB Balanced Tuner. I built both a [digital interface to the DVS-2 port] +(https://nq4t.com/pages/ft1000mp/2023/01/15/why-the-dvs-2-port-is-better-for-digital-modes/) as well as a [TinyFSK](http://www.frontiernet.net/~aflowers/tinyfsk/) keyer for FSK. + +

+My antenna is a 72' (21.9m) long center-fed doublet. It's about 50' (15.24m) up in the air supported by trees. The feedline held mostly vertical from the feed-point about +6' (1.8m) from the ground using a line attached to the house. I originally built this doublet in 2018, and it stayed up until 2022 when the line hung up during a wind-storm +and it tore the loop at the end. The feedline has had a few patches and pieces spliced in to it; but it's window-line so it doesn't affect performance. One leg had a +cut/tear in the insulation close to the feed-point, so I did some pre-emptive work to prevent this from getting worse. It really shows up in the night shot as a +blurry white spot.
