My callsign

I’m into radio since 2001. I started with CB, had a Stalker IX which I loved very much. :) I’ve done an HAREC type (recognized by CEPT member states) radio amateur exam on 17. April 2008 which I’ve extended with a morse exam on 25. June 2009, so now I can use CW too.

My callsign is HA2NON. My QTH is in Tata, Hungary, QTH locator is JN97dp63gw, GPS coordinates N 47.641.23 E 18.30.252, ASL 153m in the loft.

If you want to send me a QSL card, you can find my addresses at QRZ.com.

My QSL cards are here. Look at my received QSL cards too.

I’m using APRS. More about it here.

You can read about my ham radio experiences here.

Radios

Currently I’m using a Kenwood TS790 for VHF/UHF and a Kenwood TS850 for HF.

When I go out, I almost always bring my ICOM IC-E90 or my Wouxun UVD1 with me. The ICOM is a very nice handheld unit, the Wouxun is Chinese stuff, but works fine.

Mobile setup

I have a Yaesu FT-857D built into my car with Diamond VHF/HF antennas with magnetic mounts. I also have APRS stuff installed, more info about this here.

Base antennas

I have a homebrew 7 el. DK7ZB cross-yagi for 2 meters on a half-homebrew rotator (up 12 meters above ground, on the rooftop), a homebrew quarter-wave UHF GP for use with my handheld radio (up 10m), a VHF yagi pointing towards the city (up 10m, used with my APRS iGATE), a Diamond X510N, Diamond X200 for VHF/UHF (both up about 13 meters above ground).

For HF I have a W3DZZ about 12 meters high above the ground between a pine tree and a steel pole, both in the corners of our croft.
