Spanish Fork, Utah, USA

The above 4 photos are of my ham shack when I was living in Englewood, Colorado in 2011.The bottom right photo
Shows my SignaLink USB unit in transmit mode during a 30 watt PSK-31 transmission. Note the RF power indication
on the MFJ-949E tuner SWR-Watt Meter and Yaesu FT-950 power output meter but no indication on the FT-950
ALC meter which is the way it should be for PSK-31 transmission in order to keep the signal clean and narrow!

These 2 photos are of my current ham shack set up here in Spanish Fork, Utah.
Antenna being used is a 40 meter dipole and tuned to other bands with MFJ tuner.

Plan to get a CW keyer paddle for the FT-950 built in keyer some time in the future.

Digital interface for digital modes: Signalink USB (Integrated USB sound Card.) I use the Ham Radio Deluxe (HRD) Version 5 software for the digital modes such PSK-31 and RTTY as well as for Computer Aided Tuning (C.A.T.) for PC remote control of the Yaesu FT-950 HF rig. I also use the HRD logbook for electronic logging.

Modes of operation: I mostly operate PSK-31 and some JT65 on 40 and 20 meters and some of the other higer bands and  occasional CW or SSB.

Antenna: Currently using a 40 meter inverted Vee dipole up 14 feet at the apex and fed through an MFJ- 918 1:1 balun at the center feed point.
