| Biography Hi, my name is Ronny and I've been a ham since 1993. I built my first power supply at the age of 12. My Dad had a music store since the 50's near Chicago, and he repaired guitar amps and PA audio systems but he was color blind. So reading the color bands of resistors, and soldering, along with testing tubes got my interest in learning more about electronics. Equipment I own a Icom IC-746Pro for desktop rig on HF. Amp and ATU is Elecraft KPA500 and KAT500. I use a Ten-Tec Eagle and Icom IC-706mkllG for portable use. For the 6 meter band, I run a TS-600 Kenwood and a TE Systems 0510G amp with a horizontal loop antenna and a M2 3element yagi. For 2 meter CW and SSB I use the 746Pro with a 4 element yagi. Also other ATU's are MFJ 949E, Heathkit HA-2060A, Nye Viking M-B-5A for those wire ants. Collecting Drake line and I also have a Collins 30L-1 that I hardly use. My main CW paddle is a Scheunemann Einhebel 3. Also run a Bencher paddle, and a Western Electric along with a Bunnell Stright key and Vibroplex paddle sometimes, Schurr Profi I Iambic paddle. Also have Vibroplex 2 left handed bugs, (one that is a Presentation), a right handed J-36 bug, Begali Simplex Mono and Traveler paddle. As you can tell, I'm very curious about the history of telegraphy, and love cw because it's got rhythm. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
