I have a simple ham station – 3.5MHz to 30MHz HF, 50MHz and 144MHz VHF, and 432MHz UHF. My aim is effectiveness.
The operating position is deliberately simple, with two radios – IC7300, and IC9700, and a Raspberry Pi for a computer with two screens. My aims are simplicity and automation, with 500W on all bands.
My interest is radiowave propagation. I have no interest in modes with a computer in the radio path which enables the communication: so, repeaters, DMR, and satellites are out.
