homebase setup at last


At long last, i'm finally set up for mobile as well as homebase.

The antenna at home is the Antron 99 at 40 feet, the rig is Superstar158EDX and mike is SM58 with Behringer compressor and Yamaha 31band graphic for that BBC quality audio.

Mobile, i have a 9 foot fibreglass whip modded for the lower end of 11 meters (i love 26megs), and theres also a 2m/70cm whip on the roof.
Rig is an Icom IC706Mk2G, mike is standard, all running off a leisure battery charged while the vehicle is moving.

heres some pics!
