Here’s my humble shack in 2023!

A lot has changed since 2009...

I obtained the Kenwood TS-2000 in 2013, and it has been my primary base radio ever since. I still have the Yaesu FT897D radio, and have installed it in a Gator Case for work in the field. First, for HF use,

To see what I've done with my Yeasu FT-897D, go to: http://hamsinspace.com/Gator/index.htm.

Then, go to: http://hamsinspace.com/resource/CQ_Magazine-Vol_74_No_10_Oct_2018.pdf to see the article in CQ Magazine about this very same Yaesu FT-897D mounted in the Gator Case.

I still use the Comet CHA-250B Vertical, Multi-Band antenna. Next is a Tram 1480 VHF-UHF Ground Plane for vertical use, and finally, a KB6KQ, Horizontal Loop antenna, for 2m side band work.

In 2015 I won an ELAD-SW2 SDR Receiver at the Dayton Hamvention. I've used it in the field with a laptop for quite awhile, but at the time of this 2023 photo, I'm setting it up along with my base, and will soon be adding some dedicated antennas to use with it.

Here’s my humble shack when I started!

Included here, is a Yaesu FT-897D, with the attached LDG AT-897 Antenna Tuner. The radio is powered by a Samlex SEC1223 Power Supply. I have a used Mic Boom from an FM Radio Station in Texas, with a Nady SP-4 Mic. As you can see in the photo, I have everything connected to Ham Radio Deluxe on the computer. The FT-897D is rated at 100 watts on HF, 50 watts on VHF, and 20 watts on UHF.

The radio is presently connected to three antenna options: First, for HF use, I have the Comet CHA-250B Vertical, Multi-Band antenna. Next is a Tram 1480 VHF-UHF Ground Plane for vertical use, and finally, a KB6KQ, Horizontal Loop antenna, for 2m side band work, which has been loaned to me by my good friend, N0IRS, J. D. Dupuy.
