The photo shows the shack currently.  As you can see, the QDX is very tiny. The box it is sitting on is the 472kHz transverter.

As you may know, most of my fun is seeing how far I get with low power.  Some years ago I made a page about my shack. Although I tend not to...

  This photo was on a Facebook group earlier. As I am sure you are aware, this is not my shack! As well as the modern rig in the centre, the...

 This looks like a nice shack from the 1950s or early 1960s.

  This must have been a few years ago after a tidy-up. At the moment it is badly in need of a clean!!

Many have asked me about how I match to my earth-electrode "antenna" in the ground from my rig or 630m transverter. This is a 3C90...

Whilst trying to find something else, I came across this old photo of my radio gear. It must be about 1985. My shack was just a desk in our ...

  This photo shows my shack when we moved to this QTH in summer 2013.

  When clearing some old photos yesterday, I cam across this photo of the shack in 2015.  How time flies!

Since we moved in 2013, I have had a dedicated shack. Funny how it still gets used as a dumping ground when we have visitors and want to loo...

The photo shows me operating in 2015. Since then, I have bought and sold an FT991A and bought a network radio and an IC-705 from ICOM. 

Since moving to the present QTH in summer 2013, I have had a dedicated amateur radio room. Mostly I use digital modes that don't require...

The photo shows my "shack" in the late 1970s. It was a desk in a bedroom. Looks like I used a Liner-2 2m SSB rig and an Eddystone ...

At this QTH I have a dedicated shack. At the old QTH I built gear in the back of the garage and operated from a shared bedroom used by my gr...
