N2NXZ 10 Meter Propagation Beacon

 I decided to try a simple website about my 10 meter hobby.If all goes well,I will add to it.I was first licensed as a Novice in 1991 as KB2NCY.Shortly after took my Technician exam and became N2NXZ. There is a photo on the main page of my antennas.One is a horizontal dipole using aluminum tubing,and the other is a ground plane.Both of which are home made.The ground plane is simply aluminum radials from an old TV antenna,with a vertical fiberglass whip,lengthened for 28.400 MHZ.
