A Happy Man

Built around the Kenwood TS2000 which I've owned for about 4 years

Below the bench is the power supply which is homebrew. The computer runs Logger 32 to keep track of things and also interfaces with the radio, antenna and LP-100 which automates quite a number of features.

A Linear Amp UK Explorer 1200 that utilises 2 x 3-500ZG tubes. Sat on top is an MFJ Versa Tuner III 1.5 Kw roler inductor ATU. (model 962D)

Here you can see my Begali Paddle key plus the MFJ 259 antenna analyser that I have permanantly patched into my antenna system.

The controller for the Creat RC5-1 rotator that turn my SteppIR beam.

My main radio is a Kenwood TS2000. Hiding below it is the Rigbalster interface

One of the latest additions to the shack is this excellent LP100 wattmeter from Telepost Inc, Larry Phipps N8LP. See my links page for full details.

This is the coupler for the LP-100

Jim at the controls in Summer 2004. If you look closely you'll see a number of changes in the shack since then

Jim has just worked VP8 and KL7 for the first time
