Shack Showcase K1EEB
K1EEB My Shack has been a long time in coming. Since we moved into our new house several years ago. I finally got around to putting it together. My main rig is the Icom IC-706MK2G, which I love. It goes to a LDG Z-100 Auto Antenna Tuner. Then to a G5RV Jr. 10-40 meter Dipole antenna, on the roof about 30 feet high. Its setup as a Lazy V with the feed line being at the base of the V and the whole antenna totally horizontal. This is all computer controlled using Ham Radio Deluxe, super program. My other rig is the Icom IC-740 with a MFJ-949C tuner. Next to that is a small work area. I still have all my equipment since I was licensed in 1961. What a packrat! Well I think it goes with the hobby. See you on 20 meters SSB… 73’s Joe K1EEB
