The (non travel) holiday weekend afforded me some time to clean up and take some new pix.

BC396XT, 780, 785, 895, 996, 996XT, 996P2, HP-1
Pro-2005, 2026
PSR800
Optocom
Icom 71A, Sony 2010
RTL-SDR

Antennas in the attic...
935 11dB Yagi (Rotor)
770, 845 10dB Yagi's (Rotor)
845 13dB Yagi
506 7dB Yagi (Rotor)
410 6dB Yagi
165 6dB Yagi (Rotor)
770, 850, 460 6dB Ground planes
VHF, UHF Discones
and an old multiband...

Cables are all LMR400f or RG6 (Belden 1694A) 60' or less into a good old-fashion patchbay for quick antenna switching as needed.

The desk has a few miles on it but I have not found another that I liked better for radio land.

I like it! You are right, that desk is ideal for radios! Excellent wire management as well.

I assume those are the rotator controllers under the monitor riser, great placement.

What are you using for a coax panel? I am thinking of setting one up and replacing a few coaxes this winter for my attic antennas.

It's an 80's era 75 ohm panel from an old TV studio. BNC on all the ins. Low loss. about 1dB @ 900Mhz passing thru. 1.5dB with a patch cable
