So far we have PCTA Jim - Large scale HB Dick - Large scale HB Mike - Med to large scale HB Mike, Count me in. Numerous linear amplifiers: 4 x 6146, pair of 811A's, pair 813's, 4-1000 antennas: duoband 12/17m yagi (parasleeve excitation), 2 elements each band, hairpin match (currently in use) 2 element 40m inverted vee phased array (135 degree phasing, 1/8 wave spaced). power supplies: a number of low and high voltage (and multivoltage) supplies from 12 volts to 5,000 volts. antenna tuners: 100w switched "T" matches, 2 KW+ Ultimate transmatch, 2 KW+ "L" Network, 200w link coupled tuner for balanced line, 2 KW+ L/C phasing network.

Numerous linear amplifiers: 4 x 6146, pair of 811A's, pair 813's, 4-1000 a four by one...NICE!!! I'd call that "large scale"... antennas: duoband 12/17m yagi (parasleeve excitation), 2 elements each band, hairpin match (currently in use) 2 element 40m inverted vee phased array (135 degree phasing, 1/8 wave spaced). power supplies: a number of low and high voltage (and multivoltage) supplies from 12 volts to 5,000 volts. antenna tuners: 100w switched "T" matches, 2 KW+ Ultimate transmatch, 2 KW+ "L" Network, 200w link coupled tuner for balanced line, 2 KW+ L/C phasing network. Neat stuff! The only manufactured ham antenna I've ever used is a 2 meter mag mount. Did I mention shack furniture and accessories (shelves, tables, etc.), home-designed and made from lumber? Not up to New Yankee Workshop standards, perhaps, but they do the job. There's also the Tymeter mechanical digital clock I assembled from the parts of several discarded ones. Motor from one clock, case from another, 24 hour mechanism from a third, etc. Total cost about $2 - ten or fifteen years ago. And when I find a space for a computer in the shack, it will be a home-assembled one. 73 de Jim, N2EY |

Gee Jim.... hope there are no criminals lurking in the newsgroup. In this
thread you gave quite a shopping list for criminals...... Ryan KC8PMX (snippage) There's also the Tymeter mechanical digital clock I assembled from the parts of several discarded ones.

I'd call that "large scale"... It certainly was. The thing was in a four-foot rack cabinet and used a 2400V, 5 KVA pole pig and a doubler circuit along with some mongo oil-filled electrolytics. antennas: duoband 12/17m yagi (parasleeve excitation), 2 elements each band, hairpin match (currently in use) 2 element 40m inverted vee phased array (135 degree phasing, 1/8 wave spaced). power supplies: a number of low and high voltage (and multivoltage) supplies from 12 volts to 5,000 volts. antenna tuners: 100w switched "T" matches, 2 KW+ Ultimate transmatch, 2 KW+ "L" Network, 200w link coupled tuner for balanced line, 2 KW+ L/C phasing network. Neat stuff! The only manufactured ham antenna I've ever used is a 2 meter mag mount. I've used any number of commercial yagis and even a couple of multiband verticals such as the Butternut HF-2V with 160m kit but I've never bought a wire antenna :-) Did I mention shack furniture and accessories (shelves, tables, etc.), home-designed and made from lumber? Not up to New Yankee Workshop standards, perhaps, but they do the job. The main operating position here is made from a flush-type door on a 2 x 4" frame, supported by 4 x 4" legs. There's a shelf beneath for power supplies and a two-shelf angled console above for rigs and accessories. Studio "B", across the room is the massive old oak veneer operating desk from W8YX, the U. of Cincinnati club station. It was featured in QST's writeup of the 1937 Ohio River flood. There's also the Tymeter mechanical digital clock I assembled from the parts of several discarded ones. Motor from one clock, case from another, 24 hour mechanism from a third, etc. Total cost about $2 - ten or fifteen years ago. Neat but indicative of the dumpster diver mentality, Jim. I'm afraid I'm one of those too! I can't pass up old Alliance TV rotors and control boxes. One turns our TV antenna, one turns the chimney-mounted FM yagis for 144 and 440 MHz and one turns the 160/80m hardline receiving loop. And when I find a space for a computer in the shack, it will be a home-assembled one. Except for my laptop computer, all computers here are home assembled "white boxes" and are networked (but I bought the hub boxes). By the way, have you heard of the new Chinese-produced Linux variant? It is called (no kidding) Red Flag Linux. Dave K8MN |
