I am also a ham radio operator. My call sign is N7SCS, I hold the now extinct Advanced Class license, and I have been a ham since about 1991. My shack is not nearly as nice as yours. My station is a pretty modest one, and I have made all of my contacts using a G5RV at about 60 feet. I have not been active for a few years, but I will retain my license. Who knows when I might get the bug to be active again.

Very nice set up. :shocked04: I'm not a ham radio guy, but I do have a unit that I received in cleaning out a home for sale. I don't think it's an expensive unit, but it was free lol Nice that you have some form of communication that is not tied strictly to society's grid thumbsup01

Good deal George. I am not as active as I used to be, but still have all the gear and I fire it up once in awhile.

Now that looks good Steve. Hard to beat a good ham. The wife picked one up for Thanksgiving that was Honey Glazed and Spiral Cut. Now that was good eating.

I have scanners all over the house. I have enjoyed radio communications since I was kid. I had a transistor radio with a SW band and I use to listen to the tug boats on the Ohio River. After that I was hooked.

General Class here. Don't usually post my callsign on the web tho... will happily send it via PM if you're curious.

Haven't been on the air in a couple of years. I need to put a remote mount mobile rig in the Miata. Too scared to put anything else in it as I don't want the top cut.

Great radio shack ya got there Steve thumbsup01 there's still people calling me every now and then asking if I'll fix their radio for them, I have been tossing it up in the air but as of yet I'm steering clear of working on them right now, I might put me up an 11 meter antenna and get back on sideband one of these days.
