ARX2B

Here's my 2 meter antenna.  It is just a Ringo Ranger 2, but it seems to work reasonably well.
It is 3 5/8 waves stacked for 2 meters.  The base of the antenna is about 20 feet off the ground.
And the length of the antenna is approximately 14 feet.

 


G5RV

I know its not real easy to see, but here is my G5RV that I use for HF.  It is now up
about 20 feet above the ground.



Olds 88 w/antenna
Here is my car.  Its a 1991 Oldsmobile 88.  The car is in great shape and it only had 89K
miles when it was bought.  I've since tacked on 5K miles.  My Diamond dual-band
2 meter/70 centimeter is in the center of the roof.  It is a 1/4 wave stacked on a 5/8 wave
for 2 meters, and it is 3 stacked 5/8 waves for 70 centimeters.  The overall length of the
antenna is approximately 5 feet.




Tuner
Here is my MFJ (Mighty Fine Junk) 949E Tuner that I use for HF.  I can also tune my
G5RV on 6 Meters with this tuner.


Ht's and Scanners
Here are my handheld radios.  From left to right: an Alinco DJS11T 50mW/340mW 2 Meter
Handheld (receiver sensivity poor due to exposure to a thunderstorm with heavy rain), Icom W32A
500mW/5W 2 Meter/70 Centimeter Dual-Receive and Crossband-Repeat Handheld,  Yaesu
VX-5RS 6 Meter/2 Meter/and 70 Centimeter Wide-Band RX (reasonably good sensetivity,
fair slectivity) Handheld, and an Icom IC-2 Wide-Band RX scanner (reasonably good
sensetivity, fair slectivity).



FT-857
Here is my Yaesu FT-857 HF, VHF, and UHF Rig.  It transmits on all of the HF bands except
60 Meters.  And the rig is also capable of operation on 6 Meters, 2 Meters, and 70 Centimeters.



Stuph
Here are a few other items in my shack.  On the left is a 100mW AM broadcast band
transmitter that I built out of a kit, and that drifts in frequency.  On the right, from top to
bottom is my MFJ 2 meter/ 1.25 Meter SWR/Wattmeter.  In the middle is a Heathkit 2 Meter
SWR Meter with a Wattmeter added on by Ed W8OKE.  The bottom item is an adjustable
regulated voltage power supply that I built out of a kit at my class in electricity/ electronics at
Auburn Career Center.  The item in front of the power supply is a VOX circuit I built out of a
schematic that I found on the internet.  I think I fried the OP-AMP because the VOX circuit is
currently non-functional, however it was working for about 2 years.
