And thanks Tom.
Seems the more I do the better I like it. :arf2:
Like to have some new rigs but dont have the :186: for it. So I keep usin the old stuff. Works anyway :)

Set up this way really is working out better. Not as cramped as before.

Got my FT 736r today. Man this rig is great!.
Hooked it up and made 2 beautiful contacts on AO-7.
I never heard my signal sound so good. Now to get the CAT connected.

Beautiful, absolutely beautiful!

Thanks Tom,
The best part is there is no wear on any of the buttons. The inside is ver y clean. All screws are in place..

Man thats perty. I'm sure you'll enjoy it!

Thanks Chris!
I have spend all week end trying to get this rig to control by sat program. Man it is a tough one!

Here is my shack starting from the left a Workman (local company) 25A regulated powersupply, a cheap straight-key/oscillator, my Icom 706 (original model), MFJ Versa Tuner II. On top of the tuner is part of the portable collection.

Keith,
Nice setup. That 706 will get the job done. What type of antennas you have?

I'm jealous, somewhat, of all the nice shack setups. I don't have that much room for such setups. Anyone recommend or have ideas for setups in small areas? I currently live in a duplex and don't want to have any interference with my neighbors. Although if it effects the stereo they like to play loud all day long, I wouldn't mind.

At this time I have a 10m omni also made by Workman (is actually an 11m base cut down for 10m), and a home brew 2m super j-pole. I will be hanging some wire for HF but have a small back yard so I am still working out what type/bands I'll be putting up.

The 706 has been working well, last year on Field Day I worked Fiji and Kwajalein on 20m with around 80 watts into a 20m dipole. On 10m I have worked 30 states as well as the UK and Vancouver B.C.

Hi all Just a new member got the link from Toms forum....
Any how here are a few pics of mine...

Welcome m3jzt,
Thanks for posting the pics. Although I can not see the pics here at work (firewall blocks photobucket) I will check them out when I get home.

Hope you enjoy! :)

Nice setup!
