My Shack
A look inside my station. 53 pieces of equipment across 7 categories, from antennas to digital modes, that I use day to day.
Antennas
Antennas I've built and put up over the years, each tuned and matched for a specific band rather than bought off the shelf.
8 items
APRS
My APRS setup: a custom station built around a TNC, GPS unit and VHF transceiver, for real-time position and packet data on the APRS network.
3 items
HF
My HF setup is the core of the shack — an ICOM IC-706 MK2G, IC-718 and IC-700, run through a Digiface Pro for DX contacts and contests.
2 items
VHF/UHF
Built up over years of refinement: a Kenwood TM-V71V and MMDVM transceivers, used for local communication, satellite tracking and VHF/UHF contests.
1 items
Digital Modes
Digital modes I use in the shack, from FT8 to PSK31 — different ways of getting a signal through when conditions or power don't favor plain voice.
10 items
My Equipment
The radios in my shack, each bought or built for a different purpose — HF, VHF/UHF, satellite work, digital modes.
20 items
Projects
Smaller builds and one-off projects around the shack — interfaces, adapters, and other things I've put together rather than bought.
