Ham/SWL radio setup
Left to right, multimode VHF receiver with VHF antenna tuner on top, VHF/UHF scanner with AM broadcast band loop antenna (I enjoy AM dx'ing) on top, multimode HF transceiver with DMU display in panadapter mode on top, DMU, speaker system for transceiver. I haven't got any serious antenna systems up, I kind of permanently installed the tower at my last QTH. Need to start over. I do have a multiband dipole for SWL, was thinking about an 80...6 meter vertical for an interim setup until I work out what the rules are for towers in this part of town, find one to match, etc.
UPDATE: I rigged up a 20 meter inverted vee of wire and wood components I made in my wood shop, and made my first contact in 15 years (to California), even received a few SSTV images. But the band.... she is awfully quiet.
The window visible behind the gear is waiting for its turn at stained glass; our renovations haven't gotten to the south side of our former church yet. So it's a standard casement window stuffed with R10 foam. It'll be a real kick for me when we put the SG in; like working in front of jewels or something. At least during the day. :o)
This shot reached #145 on Explore; thanks, everyone. Not bad for gear porn!
