My current equipment includes: an ICOM IC-7700, IC-756PROII, my original IC-756PRO, a just added SPE Expert 2K-FA HF/6M amplifier, ICOM IC-PW1 kw HF/6M amplifier, Ten-Tec Titan amplifier, a homebrew RF amplifier (w/3 813's), 3 MFJ-1026's for phasing my Beverage antennas, Beverage preamps, MFJ-784B DSP filter, and many homebrew accessories such as a 12 position Beverage selection box. A picture of my shack before the new amp was added is below:
>>> Not really needing four RF amplifiers, I currently have my Ten-Tec Titan 425 amplifier for sale. For information on that see:
Titan 425
On 160 meters I have a four-element parasitic vertical array. Three elements are in-line and active towards Europe or the South Pacific. Two elements are used towards Western Asia or South America. For information on my 160M activity see: 160M PAGE
On 80/40 meters I have 6 elements in-line towards Europe: 4 elements are active to Europe on 80, all 6 on 40; 3 towards eastern Asia/S.A. That driven element is also tuned for 30M operation. The 80/40/(30) meter array is shown in a picture on my 160M page. I also have a TH-5 at 92 feet high, a five element 12 meter Yagi with a 26' boom, a seven element 6 meter Yagi at 85', a homebrew six element 17/12 meter Yagi at 80', plus extra antennas for 6 meters--a four element Yagi at 57' and a homebrew gain vertical with its base at 65'. The 6M Yagi's are pictured on my 6M page along with other 6M information: 6M PAGE
I also have several Beverage receive antennas. There are different pictures of those on the K0HA 160M and NDB pages.
Finally, I have a 17' collinear 146/445 MHz antenna around 100' high, a HTX-212 on 2 meters, a variety of accessories and too many computers...

In 1998 I made a video on my antennas, "HAntennas II" (obviously it was produced a few years after the original HAntennas). At the last minute I decided to add some audio recordings of QSO's as part of the background to the video. So, I spent the first weekend in April 1998 making and recording contacts on a variety of bands. I've pulled all of those contacts from the video, plus a bit more including pictures of that year's Beverage antennas to make a HAntennas II Sampler. See: HAntennas II
Or, if you need something to put you to sleep, you can study up on the evolution of HA. The radio evolution that is. HA-istory
I also monitor the LF/MF NDB beacons (Non-Directional airport Beacons). For information on that see: NDB PAGE
