Shack Showcase N2QQF
N2QQF Here is my modest Shack. This is an older photo of my operating Station as it has been updated more recently. My primary Radio is the Yaesu FT-2000 utilizing an Ameritron 811H (800w) amplifier for 40-6 meters. My secondary Station is the Kenwood TS-2000 utilizing an SB-220 (2kw) amplifier. I use the Kenwood for 160-40 meters for Hi-Fi Audio. I also utilize a Palstar Tuner and MFJ tuner as well. I also use W2IHY and other outboard audio gear for audio. A Rig-blaster Plus for PSK31, RTTY and a Bencher paddle for CW. I enjoy the digital modes and CW as well. IBM ThinkPad 2.8 Gig Pentium Processor for Digital work utilizing various software. I have a 55ft tower w/ TH3 MK4 3 element beam, 80 meter loop (vertical & Horizontal), G5RV, 20 meter delta & homebrew verticals. All are homebrew for the exception of the beam. 73 & God Bless.
