The Medinah shack is cramped but OK for just one ham. I have more room in the Rome Shack.

W9AD recorded the DX-100 (you can hear WB9ECK close by)


I picked up this Heathkit HW-100 from K9JEK along with the powersupply/speaker. He said it was not working so I've got some work to do before I can check into the net with it this fall.

Not an SSB rig, but this Globe Scout 680A is working. I added an internal Xmt/Rcv relay by removing 6 meter capability and re-using the extra SO-239 for receive. I've got some audio work to do on it before it's ready for Pat's T-60 net. Those red 1960s style switch labels have gotta go!!
Mike's shack showing Hammarlund HQ170, DX-100, MFJ antenna tuner, Kenwood TS-520. A TV monitor, notebook computer and printer round out the shack.
The Medinah AM vintage hamshack consists of a Hammarlund HQ-170 receiver and Heathkit DX-100 transmitter. For SSB Mike uses the Kenwood TS-520S. Sitting on top of the HQ-170 is a MFJ roller inductor antenna tuner feeding a 160m inverted V. 

Mike Rome Wisconsin hamshack. Sitting in a corner on the right wall is a computer desk with a Kenwood TS-520, Phasemaster II B, and Ameritron AL-811 with three 572B tubes. On top of the linear is a Heathkit SB610 monitor scope. On top of the Kenwood is its D-104 mic. On top of the phasemaster is a power meter with the phasemaster's D-104.
The Rome hamshack consists of a National NC-300 receiver, Kenwood TS-520,
Phasemaster II B, and Ameritron AL-811 (with three 572B tubes).

Mike's trusty Radio Shack SWR/Power Meter has been deemed unreliable by WB9GKZ. To appease Pat, Mike is spending some hard earned cash and will probably have to skip a few meals to acquire the meter to the right.

This new meter from N9QIP will allow Mike to accurately check the power output of his new Ameritron AL-811 amplifier.


The Phasemaster "Indicator Eye". Shouldn't all transmitters have one of these?
