Microphones include a Heil PR-40 Dynamic Studio Microphone (main mic), a Heil Goldline GM-4 with the HC-4 DX Element (contesting mic),  Heil Pro Set Plus with the HC-5 Element, and the Heil Quiet Phones. All outgoing audio is processed through a W2IHY 8 Band Audio Equalizer and a W2IHY EQplus (amazing device). The key is a Bencher RJ-1 straight key.

The Amplifier is an Emtron DX-2SP Legal Limit  Amp, running through a Palstar AT4K Antenna Tuner. RF power output is monitored with an RF Applications digital PEP watt meter.

The HF antennas consist of a Force 12 C19XR 11 Element Tri-Band Yagi at 125 ft on a Rohn 25G tower, and a ground mounted homebrew 1/4 wave 40 meter vertical (which is a great DX antenna) . I also have a few wire antennas up. A full wave 40 meter loop at 60 ft, and a 260 ft center-fed doublet configured as an Inverted V, with the apex at 115 feet. The center-fed doublet works very well on 40, 75/80 and 160 meters.

Mobile HF Rig - Yaesu FT-857D , using a Tarheel Model 75 Motorized Antenna, a Turbo Tuner controller, with a 500 watt solid state HF amp.

VHF/UHF.  I enjoy VHF/UHF SSB and FM. I have no interest in repeaters. A second Yaesu FT-857D (home), a Kenwood TM-631A (mobile use), a Kenwood TH-F6 Handheld (for use when we're out on the Harley's, just in case) Yaesu FT-1500M , and Alinco DR-130. I don't have any use at all for Echolink or IRLP. VOIP is not amateur radio.
