As of August 2010 this shack is no longer in operation. We have moved to a new QTH. As soon as the new station location is fully operational new pictures will be uploaded here. Well here it is, the modern operating position of the AI4FR Amateur radio station. Some of the goodies here include Hallicrafters, Icom, Kenwood and an AOR radio. The remote control hanging on the computer desk hutch is used to control the computer when watching TV. I have the system set up so television programs can be recorded or viewed live. There is also a separate monitor set up for this purpose. The second monitor is also used to view the output waveform of my digital transmissions which is received on the Kenwood TS-440SAT. The square clock hanging on the wall in the upper right of the picture is set to GMT(Greenwich Mean Time). This clock is a very useful addition to the shack, besides the time, date and day, it will also show the moon phases as well as both the outside and inside temperatures. When in a QSO, one topic that seems to always arise is the weather and temperature at each of the stations. That clock does a fantastic job of allowing me to send the local temperature here to the other station. The binoculars and 40mm US BOFOR Anti-Aircraft round seen in the center and far right of the photograph is part of my WWII historic items collection. If any amateur radio operator and his family from around the country is passing through this area, please consider yourself welcome to stop over for a visit. We will keep the tubes warm and a light on for you. |
