A 10 meter tower stands at the top of my 5 story hospital
At the top of the mast, 27m from the ground, :4element duobander for 12 & 17m (Create 248A) is raised.
I like WARC bands. The bands are not so crowded for me to enjoy lag-chew.
A rotary Dipole for 30 & 40m (Nagara T3040) is raised at 26m from the ground.
QRN in 40 meter band is terrible, over S9. The noise is a little bit better (but still S6) when antenna direction is for 100 degree. I set the antenna for this direction wherever the station in QSO locates.
Fourteen element tribander for 20, 15 and 10m (Force 12 C31XR) is raised at 25m from the ground.
This storngest tribander with KW seems not to be enough to get the rare DX station in JA pile-up.
Small loop receiving antenna did not overcome the terrible noise even with the noise canceller.
I want to raise the antenna for 80 meter band, but where can I ?

My main rig is FT-1000. It is an excellent tranceiver as you know, and I am comletely satisfied with it.
I use TS-750 mainly for 6 meter band now. IC-207 is for PC, and TM-833 is for local QSO.
ICPW-1 works very nice. The problem is that I use Yaesu and Kenwood products for exciter,
and Icom product for linear amplifier. The band change must be done manually.
I am very busy when PC or DX summit kindly shows me an attractive station in another band.

At first I used a logging software developed by myself.
I had been completely satisfied with it until I met the Bob's product..
It took many days to convert my 10000 log data to ADIF format.
I was very excited when the Logger started to read my ADIF formatted log data..
Logger is wonderul, and I will never try to develop any logging software for myself.
P51BH QSL had been the most valuable one in this field until Ed's QRV.
