You know what the next question is.

Ok damnit, somebody go get the damn coconuts again.

African or European Swallow?

No thread shall remain unhijacked around here for long.

(I'm sort of the same way about Drake stuff. I'm gonna be adding a TR-7 to the shack in a couple of months.)

Could be.

With a Big Gun station like that, Burt, I really don't understand why you're not more into contesting... ;)

I think Burp has a Flex 5000 so he should be able to do pretty well in the contest if he set his mind to it.

Catch mine while you can. Odds are I'll tear it down in a few weeks and set something different up.

Impressive Fred. I'll bet you have a real rats nest of wires behind everything. :mrgreen:

I love these shack pix threads, it gives me a chance to flash my junk.:snicker:

Very cool, George. Shall I tell you about the HX-50 and the HX-500 which were present at Dayton? :whistle:

Very impressive Sir! I would really call that a classic station. Also classy, I like radios that require furniture polish :)

Nothing made in the current century or outside North America.

Well....minus the computer, of course. And that Iambic paddle on there there, but other than that, I love Georges shack! Thats cool!


My rig would be considered a "classic" but thats only a technicality. Lets face it, its not all that exciting in that respect.

Guess that's why the donuts are missing?

No one mentioned the RGB monitor in the center of the OPs pic.

That's actually a Link Technologies MC3 terminal - two RS-232 connectors on rear; switchable from a menu. They're currently tied to the KAMs, but I built a custom cable for the M-7000 which allows it to talk to the terminal and display received data.

Theres so many cool things to look at in both Fred and Georges pics, it wouldnt be hard to miss something.

"Hers" is the leftmost side of the shack. All the auto-tune, point-and-click goodness was set up for 'DSG. Now actually getting Nicki to make contacts outside of contesting or the occasional Island net is a mite challenging. :yes:

When i talk ham stuff, all i get from my wife is "Thats nice, its fun for you, baby"...but i will admit, she is always ready to help me get a piece of new gear. She knows i want a K3, but she says i need to buy my new truck first...sucks, i know. :lol:


Were not wealthy by any means, but we can pretend!

The cat, Amber, can't be in the same room if I'm in QSO. I don't know if she gets jealous or if something else is bothering her but she'll bite my arm if I'm in QSO.

Always enjoy seeing the lovely miss Amber.

I love the speckled nose. We are making a trip to Phoenix next week to pick up our new Persian kitten from a breeder there.


His name is Chubbs.

No RGB monitor - the VM-4209 you see to the right of the M-7000 is a composite monochrome...used for the M-7000, Theta 7000, 9000 or the R-7000's TV adapter.

Permanent booger.

Thanks and done! :)

Been partial to national gear for a several years now, but have also had Hammarlund and Hallicrafters stations in the past. Currently working on another Hallicrafters HT-32 to pair up with the SX-101, and, an ART-13 to go with my old trusty BC-348 from the 70s, and use on military nite. The old all mode Gonset GSB-100 has outlasted just about all of them except for the bc348.

This is the current station.

Sexy.

Nice! I see that a ricebox sneaked in there, though.

Excellent, considerable tonnage for sure. I like the old rotary phone, nice touch.

I should post a few pics of the old National rcvr i have downstairs. Im guess '0ZU has some info.

I had the Gonset + Hammarlund thing going on for a number of years in the 80s...and this year at Dayton there were so many -100s present it seemed you couldn't walk each aisle without finding one.
