My shack consists of a 12' X 18' building that I built with my father-in-law, and was moved into our back yard. It is insulated, has an air conditioner, and an electric space heater warms it in winter. |

Internal view of my shack. On top of the shelf is an MFJ audio filter sitting on top of an MFJ 941E antenna tuner. Radios are from left, a Uniden BC8500XLT scanner, on top of it is a Radio Shack PRO-2026 scanner, next to that is my Kenwood TS-140S, next to that is my Icom R75 receiver. On top of the R75 is a Target HF3S. Next to the computer monitor is my Yaesu FT-470 HT. Underneath the computer monitor is my Kenwood TM-241A 2 meter transceiver. To the right of the monitor is a laptop computer I use to control the Icom R75. |

My VHF antennas are a homebrew super-J pole and a military surplus AT-197/GR discone mounted on a 20 foot mast. The cable to my 80 meter dipole also attaches to the mast and runs down to the shack. |

My antennas after an ice storm, January 2002. Luckily, none came down or were damaged. |

My Bunnell key-on-board with sounder. This key dates from the 1890's. When I first got it, it was in poor shape. I polished up the brass, replaced the springs, and connected some wires, and now it works. I have even connected it to my ham rig and used it as a straight key. |

My Hallicrafters S-38B shortwave receiver. This Ebay find is my first tube radio. All it needed was some cleaning up and the filter capacitors replaced, and now it works great. I have since acquired a second S38B chassis & replacement parts, including two sets of tubes. I use the S38B for casual SW listening. |
