Right now my ham shack consists of a Kenwood TS-570D(G) and an Elecraft K2 for HF, an Elecraft K1 for 20 meter and 40 meter CW, and a Kenwood TH-G71A 2M/70CM handheld. The TS-570 is really my dad's, but so far he hasn't used it for anything except listening. We also have a Drake TR-22C(also my dad's) for 2 meters, an Icom IC-215 for 2 meters, and a Kenwood TM-201B 2 meter mobile radio.

My antennas consist of a copper pipe J-pole for 2 meters, a 40(/15) meter dipole, a 20 meter dipole, and a half wave vertical for 10 meters.

I use a Kent dual-lever paddle for CW most of the time, but I also have a Whiterook MK-44 for portable work, and straight key that I bought on EBay. My keyer(s) are built into my radios.

I'm working on a TT2/MRX-40 40 meter QRP rig, and you can see my progress on my projects page.

Here are some pictures of my shack:
