This is my Station

Main station is the Yaesu FT-102, FV-102DM, FC-102, SP-102P and the MD-1B8 on
the first shelf. Above that is my backup station, the Kenwood TS-140S, PS-50,
AT-250,SP-430,PC-1A and the MC-60A. And on the top shelf is my VHF gear, a
Realistic HTX-202,HTA-20 and the MFJ-921. The power supply on the right is a
homebrew 15Amp, using 2N3055 transistors and an LM317T regulator with crowbar
protection circuit. Below, on the desk, you will notice my favorite items in the
shack, my CW keys. There is the Vibroplex Bug and Vibrokeyer along with a
Speed-X hand key and the MFJ-401D electronic keyer. Not in the picture(hanging
under the desk) is the an old converted commercial TMC LPA-1K linear amp. It runs
a pair of Westinghouse 8163(3-400Z)tubes for a total output of about 1.2KW PEP
.


These are of me Working on my Tower and Antenna

The tower is a Delhi DMXMD48 free standing in 3 cubic yards of concrete.
The center antenna is a Solarcon A-99 10m Vertical and to the left of that is
a Larsen 5/8 Ground plane for 2m. On the under side of each arm is a halyard for
hoisting the homebrewed multiband dipoles which I use on HF.
