If any like minded people are interested, the radio on the right of the monitor is a Kenwood TS-480SAT, and the radio to the right of that is a Kenwood TM-D700E. I've also got a Dartcom APT Weather Sat reciever that you can see to the lower right of the picture.

Nice and neat shack Jon T, I had one tidy like that for about 9 minutes just after I meet the xyl hi good radio's the 480's not had or tried a TM-D700E.

Are you active and which bands?

73's

G6YPU

I posted my desktop with radio gear on here a short while ago should still be on here, the 690's have an excellent frontend I still have one knocking round somewhere amoung all my junk.

I am still active but mainly on digi modes at present I have from HF to 23cm but I just float around never in one place long enough to call home if you know what I mean and only use repeaters if mobile or out and and about.

The antenna's a wire dipole HF, V-2000 6/2/70, X-7000 2/70/23 vertical and a couple of 23cms Tonna 55 element yagis (only one up), trusty old cobweb 20 to 10m (when I put it back up and ideal for limited space!),CP6 vertical 80 to 6m and a Balcony antenna 80 to 10m in the loft.

I'm QRV from 80m to 70cm, excluding 4m, mainly 20m PSK31, sometimes a bit of RTTY and SSTV. 2m is almosrt 100% APRS, and 70cm tends to sit monitoring GB3MD. I have a Watson W-300 co-linear for 2m/70cm and a Sandpiper MV-V6 Vertical for HF+6m.

I do a hell of lot more listening that transmitting though.

I did have a "cobweb" style antenna that was called a "GM3VLB mini-delta", low noise and great DX, must get another one in the near future.

A bank of speakers and (what looks like) a light show capability - I'm glad I don't live next door to you. :shocked: I'll bet it's not Mozart, Beethoven, or Vivaldi that you play through those either :erm: LOL Mind you, a bit of Wagner would certainly wake up the neighbors.:D

Oh yes :) and I am toying with buying another one of those Sonys :dozey::D, as for my new desk it's about three weeks old. I do clean it once a week I normally strip pc once a month to clean all dust out of it, since we have four doggies so dust is a real issue.
