Shack Showcase WA4UF
WA4UF I recently tore everything down and cleared out the shack, built all new furniture, and put everything I use or will use back together. The TS-830S is up for HF; VHF is covered by the Icom triplets for SSB and a Yaesu FT-230 for 2m FM. The Collins rig is awaiting repair/restoration. Last big project is to bore a bunch of holes in the house under the desk so I can get the feedlines out of the window.
