My gear is my trusty and fully loaded K3, KX3, KX2, LNR-LD-11 with the Tokyo High Power amp, the 550fx with the LDG at-1000 tuner and bringing up my THP 1.2 for dx peditions to other towns. I will be taking up my loaded ft-840 and ts-140 as back up rigs. One of my ft-890s bit the dust...I was using a Hex beam in Dorset, but yagis going up in Iqaluit on a tower or two...

I have a fully loaded K3S! with SPE Expert 1.5KFA but will be using these in Montreal, Vermont, Dominica and Belize qths.

I also use an Icom PRO 3 with an inrad roofing filter and rig blaster sound card for digital modes. I will have my ic-751a, ic-781, ts-60, Kenwood twins (R-599D, T-599D, mc-50, LDG tuner, keyer), set up in the shack soon as a tribute to my Elmers who passed away. I also have a really nice r-2000 for short wave listening, which is a passion for me. Back up rigs are ft-450d and Kenwood ts-480sat.

I recently acquired a KX3, KXPA, PX3 and will use qrp and qro with Begali Expedition paddle and straight keys. The KX3 is my little K3...and the rcvr is so amazing.

For cw, I have several Begali paddles and Piero made me some neat straight keys. And my j-38 and vibroplex paddles as they are fun to use and quite beautiful pieces. My dear friend, Stan, wa2bah (RIP) liked the Vibroplex paddle, so I will use one to remember him every time I use it.

My fav is the Begali Stradivarius with vy0BRR engraved on it!

I still like to send cw qrs on 40m to work the newbies and older fellows enjoying straight keys or skcc members.

Listen around 7.115 or so in the evenings and we can make QSOs. I look out for people calling CQ or I may call CQ myself...My 80/40m antenna is going to be looking at the Bay from a hill so will be quite high.

My house is very lovely and I will take some pix of the shack and neighborhood soon. And expect to be /ATV mobile and /skidoo mobile too!
