[HCDX] Re: Radio Shack Photo's
I think a thread with radio shack photo's would be a real neat thread. I use
a digital camera so can upload photos easily. Here are four photo's of my
radio shack. I use a Yaesu FT-990 and a Timewave DSP-9+ for audio peaking
and noise reduction and a simple Radio Shack tape recorder. I use a 64 foot
tall tee vertical that has a 200 foot flat top and a 200 foot long doublet
up 64 feet for my listening. Actually it's the same antenna, I flip a switch
and it's a horizontally polarized doublet/dipole, flip it again and it's a
vertically polarized tee vertical.
