Nothing fancy just a modest setup but it has served well
* Second hand computer desk converted for radio operations * Tecsun s2000 shortwave radio * President Mckinley AM/SSB radio
* HP laptop with high speed wireless broadband internet * GME-750B VHF marine radio *Uniden UBCD536PT scanner
* Pantech wireless weather station with Wi-Fi connectivity * GME 370C UHF CB radio * Pin board with amateur radio licence
My original setup before having to move home due to a combination of covid pandemic and the house I was renting being foreclosed consisted for a 2nd computer desk that had a HP laptop, Uniden 996t scanner, Uniden pro 505xl 27 MHz CB radio, GME 370C UHF CB with pictured desk housing an ICOM VHF and MF/HF marine radios as part of my coast guard duties
The old computer desk with early setup including the 370C UHF and 996t scanner helped me broadcast road closures and traffic updates during the 2019/2020 fire season known as black summer when we had a bushfire at Keilira just outside of Kingston SE then roughly 13 months later the same setup allowed for successful broadcast of same updates during the Blackford/Lucindale grass & scrub fire in 2021
Pictured desk equipped with VHF and MF/HF radios originally helped me to successfully coordinate local fishing boat resources during marine emergencies off Port MacDonnell coastline in 2011,2015-2017,2020-2023 with the latter happening on New Years Day last year
To date my current pictured setup has assisted with 1 marine emergency (New Years Day 2023) broadcasting road closure and traffic updates for a grass/forest fire at Callendale in early 2024
