Remote HAM Shack with camouflage
A short story about metamorphosis from SWL DX’er to a HAM Radio Amateur. After I got bitten by the SDR Bug back in -12 I updated and upgraded my SDR equipment every year.

40m L-o-G
My remote location is a little challenging what comes to the long-wire antennas, especially if the antenna needs to be string in straight line from the feed point.

I selected center tuning of 96MHz as it has the…
