I just put a picture of my shack as of this week. I am enjoying my new Drake
R7. it is quite a receiver and has the best performing PBT of any receiver
I have owned. including the NRD-525, Icom R71 and Drake R8.

I really have to get to updating my collection shots now that I have a real
nice digital camera and updated flash attachment.

Good Lord!! Now that's a collection. I'm reminded of
a quip I once used (stole it from a coworker) when my
cubicle had three SGI workstations in it: it's not just
a job, it's a CAT scan.

So you're the guy who stuck the Alpine coax speaker
in their Sat 800? I've thought about doing that for some
time now, but every time I also figure that I could just
as easily hook up an external speaker to it. How's the
sonic difference?

the sound improvement is impressive, especially on FM. I consider it a must
do if you use the internal speaker

That's a fine collection Mike. I especially like those Sony's.
Noticed you have both of the Kenwood bandspread receivers - the earlier
one is harder to find. I enjoyed using the R300 for a year.

Nice collection Mike. I guess the obvious question is: Do you ever turn
them all on at the same time?

Ah, there's the pride and joy of the shack!! Okay, Mike,
what do you use to split the antenna input??

for those wondering, my signal path is:

1)grove TUN-4, two antennas in and two outputs
2) one out goes to a KIWA shortwave preamp with BCB filter
3) KIWA output goes to an ICE 112-4 four way splitter amplifier

this way I can have 5 receivers at the same time
