My Ham Station

Well the Shack has went through some changes since the last update.  I skipped 2005 but from there I went on a crazy spree of radios.  First off I screwed up and sold my ICOM 746 to a local ham and have been kicking myself ever since.  I bought and sold an Icom 736, blew the finals out of that and really made fire come out the bottom while trying to repair.  I sold that on Ebay and bought a Yaesu Ft920,  then I went crazy I tried an ICOM 775DSP radio from John, N0SNX and had to have it.  Folks that is a lot of money to tie up in a radio and I should have never did it but I did.  I sold the 775DSP and delivered it to Lebanon MO to N0IVK, I just purchased an Kenwood TS480SAT I want to try the remote operation that it has to offer I think that will be really neat.  I will get a picture of it posted when it comes in.  That brings you up to April of 2006!

This is of the new shack it moved from 2005 to 2006.  You see the ICOM 775DSP, Heil Goldline on a boom, Yaesu FT8800 and of course the PC.  Behind the FT8800 you can see my weather station that no one thinks is accurate including myself :)

At some point I had this Yaesu FT-900 but I don't remember what year.  I remember driving down to 

Joplin MO to pick it up but I don't remember what year it was.  At one point I was trading 

HF rigs like Trading cards and lost track who/what/when/where.  

I have had  two Icom 746, Yaesu FT-920, Kenwood 570DG and two different TS-450's from 1999 to 2004.
