Radios

We currently own and operate with the following radios:

  • Yeasu FT891
    • Our primary HF radio
  • G90 Radios
    • Used for any portable uses and for it’s excellent tuner
  • UT-2000A Antenna Tuner
    • An ol’ school tuner which does wonders, none of this modern auto-tuner rubbish
  • AirSpy HF
    • For any receive-only uses

Antennas

Our main antenna used to be an MFJ-1481, but unfortunately that came down with a wind storm. We are in the process of purchasing and installing a new HF antenna, which will be the XR5 9-element Yagi from InnovAntennas

We also have a Diamond D130J discone for a VHF and UHF, and a Nooelec GOES satellite dish for GOES16 reception (currently unused due to interference issues, which will be an eventual fox-hunt).

Misc Equipment

The Club also has access to the following equipment if needed per request:

  • Agilent N9310A RF Signal Generator
  • Agilent N9320B Spectrum Analyzer
  • Multiple N201 USRP
