Shack Showcase	Home of WV2NY

I have been a Ham since 2000. Current operating conditions are: Icom 761 running to a Cushcraft R8 vertical for HF and a Kenwood TMV7A for 2 meters. I enjoy SSTV and working Special Event stations and ragchewing on 10 and 20 meters. I also have an Icom 706MKIIG in my Blazer for those drives back home to WV. I belong to the Lancaster Amateur Radio Club in Lancaster NY. Figured out my callsign yet? Hope to catch you on the air sometime. :) ’73 JOE
