OH8GEJ HAM Shack - Equipment, Radios, Antenna and more.

I also hold the callsigns: KB9YXM, HB9TMJ, DG2JW as well as OH8GEJ. The station is almost completely run from Alternative energy. That is to say that I am running the Ham shack, wx station, APRS DIGI & station computer almost entirely from alternative energy. Solar panels & home brew wind generator charge 1 deep cycle battery. I am able to run most summer days without the need of electricity from the grid.

Yaesu G-1000 DXC just wont die! (Damn-it)

I currently use the Yaesu g1000-DXC on my tower and in my shack for turning my small array of antenna.

The head is computer controlled and as you might imagine, turns my antenna exactly where they are suppose to be pointed.

Other than operating in temperatures ranging from -50 to +40, the damn thing refuses to die.



  • Lightening strikes in May 2006,
  • -50c in January 2001,
  • +40c in August 2003

the trusty old friends continues to turn.
So it looks like no upgrade any time soon.
They just make the darn thing too good.
