Dr. Paul Strøm

I am an amateur radio operator with the callsign M7XCW.

I love how this hobby offers endless rabbit holes to explore. My primary interests include making antennas, long-distance contacts, and CW (Morse code) operation. I am particularly excited about communicating with others worldwide using a series of dits and dahs.

What I use

Kenwood TS-570D

This HF transceiver has a frequency range of 160-10 meters has a built-in automatic antenna tuner and digital signal processing.

Yaesu FT-891

My portable and go to HF radio which I use for HF + 6m. I typically use this with a vertical antenna (as shown in the photo).

Yaesu FTM-6000

This 2m and 70cm radio I use together with the Diamond SG-7500 magnet mounted antenna or with the Diamond V-2000 TRI Band Vertical Base Antenna.
