Shack Showcase	Radio KI7G

I'm currently in my third round of activity as a ham. Station includes an Icom IC-756 Pro, an IC-910h VUF/UHF all mode rig, a Kenwood TM-V7A 2m/70cm rig for Packet, a Yeasu FT-290rII 2m All-mode, an Icom IC-37A 220mhz rig and a rigblaster pro and a AEA PK-900 for the digital modes. Also have a Uniden BC895-XLT Scanner. Have a couple of Kenwood TH-28a HT's, a Yeasu VX-R5 HT and a FT-290rII Portable 2m All mode for field work. Computer is only 1 ghz but has almost a gig of RAM. Nice station, but I'm now in a condo so the VHF/UHF antenna farm is in the attic along with an AH-4 tuned rain-gutter for HF. No more QRO for me!
