Stuck in a closet


Here is my simple station.  It's all setup on an old dresser shoved in a closet so I'm very limited on operating space.  My main radio is a refurbished Yaesu FT-450d that does everything I could ask of it.  I do have an old Kenwood TM-241a that I've had for quite a few years now (20-ish?) and a Yaesu FT-60R.  For random accessories there is the SignaLink USB which is a great interface since it has the built in sound card freeing your computers sound card to alert you when someone interesting is calling CQ.  There is also my old KPC-3 I've been playing with again and finally the LDG AT-200PRO II that turns my 3 band fan dipole into a 8 band antenna.  On HF I run 25 watts into an attic mounted antenna proving you don't need much power or huge antennas to talk around the world, especially with digital modes.  For software, I run mmsstv, jt65-hf and Ham Radio Deluxe.
