My Equipment

Hi, I'm DL8BNG. My amateur radio license class E was issued on Jan 2025; class A was issued on May 2025. So I still have a lot of experimenting to do.

Here's some of the radio and auxiliary equipment I use.

For the short wave bands, I almost exclusively use the Hermes Lite 2 SDR these days, either in QRP mode (5 Watts PEP) or with a linear amplifier. It can operate in the full range of 9kHz to 30MHz.

I am still experimenting with my antennas; currently, I use a single 15m long multi band trap circuit dipole for short wave radio. This dipole supports the 10m, 15m, 20m and 40m bands. I prefer the software quisk because I find its interface easy to use and comprehensive.

For the VHF/UHF/SHF bands:
