Here are some pictures of my shack. The Icom IC-275A and Kenwood TS-811A belong to one of my antenna challenged contesting friends, Tom, N1TQ. Not pictured are my Kenwood TS700-S 2 meter all mode that serves as a backup to the 275A, and my Yaesu FT-2200 which I used to connect to an MFJ 1278-B TNC. Also not pictured is my HP Vectra XA Pentium Pro 200 computer that I use for logging (WriteLog), digital mode operation via a RigBlaster, Icom computer control via a CT-17 CI-V, and connection to the packet cluster via ethernet connection. During VHF / UHF contests, we move the IC-275A to the other side of the room, and the TS-811A to the adjoining room and network the logging computers across a 100mbs LAN. You can usually find us operating the ARRL contests using the Norwood Amateur Radio Club's contesting call sign of N1OP.
