Hi,

Mainly HF these days. CW with some SSB and FT8.

Main rig is my superb Kenwood TS590S. Also an Elecraft KX3 for camping trips. Generally run FT-8 at 25W on FT-891 using a RPI4 and very poor CW on KX3 (10W) and TS-590S (100W) from home QTH. Also just added the amazing Icom IC-705 to the portfolio.

Antennas at home are 3ele Tribander yagi, 3 ele 6m yagi on a 10m tower and a 80m EFHW. Also a number of 'experimental' Magnetic loops. Portable antennas are a couple of short verticals, Dipole's on 6m mast and sometimes a Mag loop.

I also have constructed a Walford electronics Homebrew Bristol QRP TRX and numerous other QRP rigs.

A couple of years ago built an Es'Hail system comprising of an ADALM-Pluto, a couple of Ebay PA's, Modified Octagon LNB, Leo Bodnar GPS Clock, 1m offset dish (rx), 24dBi WiFi reflector (tx) and the excellent SDR-Console software. Made a few FT8 contacts via the satellite now but need more power for SSB!
