That's Fine Business for the non hams reading this - a term hams use for Well Done.

I did notice the home brew matching unit on the ceiling but the close-up shows it much better. I would have sworn those Gonsets were the 2 meter rigs that were very popular. They also were built for Civil Defense and there must be thousands of them sitting in old fallout shelters to this day.

My ham shack is much more modest. I have been a ham since 1981 but only became a dirt dweller under three years ago. I am in the last stages of rebuilding an SB-220 - the only tube based equipment I have. I've got a Kenwood TS-870, a Ten Ten Hercules II amp and an LDG at1000 proII. So far I just have a ZS6BKW antenna but am working on a Hexbeam setup now - hope to get it on the roof when the weather improves in the spring. We have HOA restrictions that prevent towers but the rules were written so badly that I can get away with a lot. The boat has a Kenwood TS-570D/G, an SEA 222 and an SCS ptc II modem.
