Hello from Michigan, the “mitten state” and land of the Great Lakes! I earned my Technician license in 2015 and upgraded to my General in 2022 and Extra in 2023 . My shack radio is an Icom IC-7300 that I got from my slient key friend (see below). My antenna is a center-fed, fan-dipole for 10M & 20M (Alpha Delta Single Band Full Size Dipole Antenna DX-20 with an added home-made section of 12AWG wire for 10M). I pair the radio with an LDG AT-600Pro II Autotuner. I use an Icom IC-705 for POTA with the Xiegu XPA125B amplifier/tuner and an EFHW for POTA outings . My VHF/UHF/DMR radio is a TYT MD-9600 using a vertical antenna (Diamond V200a). All of my atennas are in the attic of my house due to HOA restrictions. By the way, I log all my HF contacts on LOTW and QRZ.

I have much to learn and certainly appreciate all those helping me along the way! 73 and God bless you,

Dave KZ8Z
