Hi, all.
My name is Edward (Paul, really, but I prefer my middle name).
I started ham life as a CB good buddy in the late 70s, move on to G6MNR, then G0LHF (still live), and now YD1BOR.
The Indonesian call give me limited use of HF (10 and 40 when reality kicks in).
For QRP, I have a Yaesu 818, and a Chinese uSDR - the former is lovely, but the latter is less than fantastic.
I also have a Yeasu 600 that manages roughly 100 watts.
I live in a house that has no access to the roof, but I can get a bracket up that should hold something. I like to play with aerial ideas.
I've just bought a 12 meter long fishing pole - I see a 1/4 wave vertical for 7 mhz as a strong possibility.
My QRP days started a lot of years ago with a great Yeasu FT-70g with an FC-70 tuner. I saw one of the latter for sale at a reasonable price, so I strached it before anyone else had the chance. If you've ever used one, you'll know why.
