   Pictures from VA7VV June 2004


Six meter beam and centre of 80m Zepp on left tower. Butternut hf-6v
on right tower. Two meter and 440 yagis pointed at mountain top packet
repeaters (line of site from the back deck).


Another view of the antenna systems. There's a 440 vertical made from an electrical box on the right side of the left tower.


General view of the station. Old p-100 computer just at far left. Astron power supplies sitting atop an old Hallicrafters (HT-41)
linear to the left of the computer. Next, two bugs on the bottom, a SGC dsp speaker, mfj super dsp, mfg keyer and another bug
on top. Moving to the right: vibroplex single paddle sits next to an R-71a general purpose receiver. Above that, Yaesu FT-920 used
mostly for six meters, and above that the Ten-Tec Jupiter, which is used for CW. Slightly to the right and in front of the R-71a is an old
heathkit keyboard used for chasing dx. On the right, speaker, mfj noise canceller and power/swr meter. Bottom right is rotator control.


This is a screenshot of the N4PY software for the Jupiter. It is, in a word superb.
I never operate without it anymore. Highly recommended!


This is what sends the stuff.... left: 1927 vibroplex lightning set up for slow speed -- dusty but fully restored; a beautiful
bug bought on eBay for $75 bucks. To the right a 50's vibroplex blue racer -- my favourite.
