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.

Are you active and which bands?

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.
