| Ham Radio Station Reaches Completion |
Since moving in to the new QTH I have been regularly tweaking my amateur radio set up and testing out various equipment configurations. I have now finally got my station working effectively and have settled for a lay out that I can comfortably work with, which can be seen pictured below.
Equipment Used
YAESU FT - 857
YAESU FT - 847
YAESU FT – 1000MP MARK – V
YAESU SP – 102 Ext Speaker
YAESU FP – 1030A Power Supply Unit
YAESU G – 5500 ELEVATION – AZIMUTH DUAL CONTROLLER
YAESU MD – 1 Mic
YAESU MH – 36 DTMF Mic
HEIL GOLDLINE GM5 Mic
Labtec Head set & Mic
RIGblaster plus Interface
MFJ – 962D VERSA TUNER III
1942 CW Key
22” Monitor and Dual Core 3800, 2Gig Ram - P.C, Running XP Pro.
Software Used
Winlog32
RadioCom 5.2
Satscape
MMSSTV
PSK31 Deluxe
DX Atlas
Ham Radio Deluxe
Decorative Equipment
I also enjoy making models in my spare time usually out of metal. In my shack you can see a couple of models I made for my collection.
Supporting my HEIL Microphone, I made a mast like structure with a PTT switch fitted neatly to the side.
I also have made a few mini towers that have manually rotating miniature scale Yagi beams on top.
My favorite model radio mast and antenna can be seen on top of my SP – 102 Loud Speaker. My other model tower is up at the holiday Shack along with the rest of my equipment.
Well that’s all for now, I look forward to working some of you somewhere on the bands from my fully tried and tested ham radio shack!
Good DX & 73 thanks for the visit. |

Hi Simon, it's unfortunate the photo is so small. Would like to see more details. Anyway it looks like a nice shack. What program are you using for tracking the birds? 73, Bas

Hi Simon,
It looks very nice but, like Bas, I missed more details.
Where is your FT817? I missed this nice radio.

Hi Bas, I use Satscape. I will be taking some better shots of the equipment in the future ;-) 73 all the best.
Hi Phil, nope M3TLL is a radio lover and insisted I set up in the lounge area. the dog gets his own room too.
Hi Hans, I still have my other shack set up with some of my other radios and all the antennas on stand by.
My Ft-817 is upstairs in our bedroom with the miracle whip plugged in, so I can listen before bed time when I am in the horizontal position hi hi. 73 tnx
