Present Day Shack January 6th, 2007

Here is my present day shack. All my working Heathkit gear has been carefully wrapped and stored until I have extra space to set it up. Incidentally, I am 40 pounds lighter (2005 New Year's resolution) than in bearded photo in the About Me link and feel much better but spending $$$ on new duds!

I have a TS-2000 ( a LONG way from the TS-940 I owned from 1986 up until the the TS2K), an MFJ 989C Tuner,  an Ameritron AL-811H amplifier, a homebrew P4 computer with three disk drives (SCSI) with a wireless mouse and keyboard, a 21" monitor, a Heathkit U-matic keyer which I built in 1987 and a pair Heathkit HD-1410 keyers given to me to me from my Elmer's wife when he passed away (one is shown on the shelf), a full size G5RV over a marshy type swamp in the rear of the property, and a Heathkit Cantenna for tuning up. None of these components has caused me one ounce of trouble since I have had them....no problems at all.

 I also have my DXCC CW with 125 countries and satellite DXCC (AO-13) that earned in the mid '90s but I'm starting out all over again after a ten year absence from ham radio due to tuition for kids and working extra hours for my police department before I retired November 1st, 2004 after 34 years of service. Look me up in QRZ.com.
