Welcome to K1FRC’s Ham Radio Shack on Airchexx. If you’re here, you probably are a ham, or you have some interest in becoming one. This page is dedicated to a few things I like, and some ham radio content.

Below is my Ham Radio Log. This only goes back to June 2020 when I got back on the HF bands.
Radios
The Top radio is an Icom IC-718. That one is on the air now at the shack. I have a 20 meter dipole up only about 15 feet at the highest point but I do get out when conditions are right. New power cord, Power supply is an Astron 20A. Really doesn’t push the rig as it should and I’m only getting about 45-50 watts out on digital modes.
The second radio is my dream rig. It only goes for 12,000 at Ham Radio Outlet…. I could put that down on a new car!!! Its there just so I can dream and see what my savings goal is for one day. Right now I have to rebuild the antennas and get a better power supply.
I’ll see ya on 20m BPSK-31 or Olivia one of these days, or you’ll hear me calling CQ on 75 meters… Need a bigger stick for the lower frequencies… not getting out much but ya never know!
73 y’all and stay safe till we meet on the bands!
