This is my ham shack as of today, 11/15/09. These things change from time to time, however.

Collins 20V-3 - FlameThrower

This is remotely operated from inside the hamshack. It is located in my shop, 70 ft away from the house. From inside my office/hamshack I can control transmit frequency with a WRL 922 VFO, audio/modulation with a Dorrough 610 DAP, Power ON/OFF and Transmit/Standby. The 20V-3 feeds a 40 meter double extended Zepp at 50 ft through a Johnson KW Matchbox. Transmit signal is monitored by a General Instrument AM Modulation Monitor and audio waveform with a Tektronix 465 scope.
