Jim's (N5TYR) Home Page

   My name is Jim Plemmons and I have been a ham for 13 years. I have taken my General class written test and passed it but have not taken the CW test. For the past two years or so I have been spending most of my time on 2 meter FM on 146.550 with the NEOK Simplex group. I also spend a lot of time on 6 meter side band on 50.125. I monitor both frequencies on a daily basis but when 6 meter is hopping it is just about a guarantee that I will be on there making contacts. I am currently going for W.A.S. on 6 meter sideband.

     I am happy to say that I have three people in my family that are licensed ham operators.

My Station

My rig of choice is an ICOM IC-706MKII-G which I use for 6 meter and 2 meter FM and SSB. For two meters I use a Cushcraft 13B2 at 45 feet and a Ringo Ranger 2 ground plane at 40 feet. I use 4 element Hy-Gain yagi on 6 meter side band at 30 feet and a homebrew 6 meter starduster vertical at about 25 feet. I QSL direct and by EQSL.
