Equipment

I obviously do not have as much equipment as many other radio amateurs, but I can do my thing very well.

Transceivers:

2008, May:
Just after I passed the exam and received my Novice registration, I started, cheap, with the Ranger RCI2950, a 25W mobile rig for 10m.

2008, July:
The RCI2950 was sold, and a second hand Kenwood TS-440SAT bought. With this radio I became quite active on 20m and 40m.

2009, March:
I saved some money for a more modern radio. Curious about VHF, I traded in the TS-440SAT and added my savings to buy an Icom IC-746Pro. This radio includes HF, 6m and 2m.

2009, July:
A tragic event. On holiday in Spain, our motor home (RV), with all our belongings was stolen. We parked on the parking lot of a McDonald’s inCharles Leonard
