I moved to North Carolina in early 2005. The neighborhood does not permit outdoor antennas, which has seriously restricted my VHF operation from home as you can well imagine. Minimal attic antennas have only resulted in minimal DX. Nonetheless, good openings do happen, and CT1 and EA were worked in the summer of 2008 on 6m. Tropo openings on 2m have produced QSOs as far away and Maine on 2m and 70cm, and Es into Texas.

As of 2008, the old Kenwood TS-2000 is my primary 6m radio. The antenna is a 2 element Moxon. On 2m, 70cm, and 23cm. an Icom IC-970A does all the work. A Mirage 600 watt amplifier is used on 2m into a 6 element WA5VJB dirt cheap yagi in the attic. In 70cm, an RFC 100 watt amplifier feeds a 12 element WA5VJB yagi. The IC-970 runs barefoot on 1296 MHz; the antenna array is a 4 bay array of 10 element WA5VJB yagis. My trusty old  Yaesu FT-1000D is the main HF radio, with a delta loop and SGC SmartTuner, or a M2 WARC band dipole, in the attic.

My main outlet for ham radio is remote operation, and research into trans-oceanic tropospheric ducting. Research and experiments are actively underway in the Indian Ocean, and the South and North Atlantic Oceans. During 2008, the existence of the South Atlantic and SW Indian Ocean ducts was proven, with an actual 2m QSO between FR5DN and ZS2GK in August. My beacon in FM15PA was also heard by CT1HZE south of Lisbon in August 2008, a range of 3707 miles across the North Atlantic.
