Albuquerque Station

Albuquerque, NM Station

My current station (January 2017 - present) consists of an Icom IC-7300 rig for HF, and a Yaesu 2m FM base station. I also run a digital mesh node on 2.4Ghz. For HF, I am using a G5RV-Jr antenna that is placed on the roof of my house in an inverted-v manner, with the peak about 35 feet above ground.

	2.4Ghz mesh node, running AREDN. (HF antenna can be seen in the background.)
	The mesh node is completely solar powered!
	Measured HF antenna SWR.
	Propagation of my station on 20m. This is about 17 hours of running WSPR at 200 milliwatts on a RaspberryPi with TAPR's QRP TX shield using the WsprryPi program.
	Propagation of my station on 40m. Running WSJT-X on my RaspberryPi overnight with one watt TX through my Icom rig.
