I am Eddie Runner Sr. aka NU5K
Finally starting to get the ham shack in the new house put together.
I am always changing and trying new gear, but at the time of this photo my
primary HF rig is a FLEX 3000
with a HEIL 781 microphone, and the backup rig is an Icom 756 PROIII...
I have dual 24 inch monitors for the FLEX 3000, I love the flex display, it adds
an awsome visual
component to working HF.
In the last few weeks
I bought an ICOM 910H and love the weak signal capability, it is
renewing my interest
in VHF and UHF ssb. The Icom 910H does have one
shortcoming though, it has 100 memories for vhf
and 100 memories for UHF, but there is no alpha tagging and it takes
FOREVER to page through
the memories using the up and down arrows... So I will be
using a Kenwood TS-2000x for the local
repeaters (it is simple to change memories with a turn knob and has
alpha display so I dont have to remember
which frequency is associated with which repeater group - there is
lots of them in this area) and then
use the Icom 910H for SSB and simplex and might even get back into
some satellite work..

Starting the dig for
the base of the small 50 ft Aluma Tower
 
Finishing the dig for
the tower base. Its great to have close family members that
support the hobby
this is Christina KE5YYW ( My sons Fiance)
The hardest part of
installing a tower is finding folks to do the work INSTEAD OF ME!
This is Darrell KC5JAR who thinks he can mix the concrete correctly.
(he did do a great job, as a reward I let him talk on the Flex 3000)
