This is my station
It isn't much.  Just a Kenwood TS-830S in a corner of the room.  I'm using an Athlon 750 that I built myself interfaced to the Kenwood for SSTV and PSK-31.  I use a Radio Shack HTX-202 into a RF Concepts linear into a home built cubical Quad antenna for 2 meter.  The Quad turns on an old channel master rotator I got at a yard sale.  I've worked Long island, Northern Jersey, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, Albany, Connecticut, Arkville, on 2 meter with this setup.  The whole thing runs off of a 12 volt battery charged by a solar panel.  Even the rotator works off of an inverter.  The Kenwood and PC are both connected to the power grid.  Maybe someday if I can get some more solar panels and a better battery I'll run them off grid too.
