Greenfield IN
Ham radio Contest Site
Indianapoli Radio Club Review:
Date: 31 DEC 2003
If you are the least bit interested in working Ham radio DX
stations;
but have doubts about your experience or financial capabilities, then
spend an hour with
Gary Stouder - K9SG and Hank Wolfla - K9LZJ.
These two amateur radio operators have put together a very
impressive
Contest station located in the rural Greenfield Indiana area by
combining their resources.
They have assembled the dream come true ham operators
station that boast 2 operating
positions complete with computer logging
stations and radio gear that covers 160 meters
to 1.2 Ghz Ham bands.
When I first approached
the outside of the station,
situated
on about 5 acres
of farm land, immediately
I noticed the 100 foot tower
supporting three (3) large
HF beams, 3 vhf/uhf beams
and a microwave dish.
That’s just one of 4 antenna systems. One of the beams is a StepIR 20 meter to 6 meter 4 element beam.
Entry into the Ham shack displayed a modest but highly
functional two-position operators console;
one of the radios was a Icom IC
756pro transceiver.
Gary and Hank have spent many long hours both building
their
dream ham station and sharing the operating pleasures
of this outstanding ham
shack.
If you are interested in more details contact either of them
on the Indianapolis 442.65 repeater system
