Antennas/Wiring Panel

[zguy1243]

Here are a few of my 2 AT-197/GR discones and a photo of my wiring panel that houses all the cables coming in, preamps and power distribution.

Tell us more about your signal dividers in the cabinet such as model numbers and sources. Pics of the shack interior might also be interesting since the Signal equipment is no longer manufactured.

Superb! Love the job on the demarc panel. Now lets see what all those wires go to other than the antennas!

I see you have an MFJ distro panel in there with a couple multiconductor cables to the binding posts, i assume thats powering the radios or?

Pretty nice install but where is your lightning protection? Make sure that you ground the coax shield before it enters the panel and then run a polyphaser on the feedline before it hits the splitter.

Here are a few more of the radios as they are now. The rack is under construction. I have been playing with some wiring and stuff the past few days.

The box is a Open House E18

Nice job, are you no longer using the Motorola Centracom consoles?

 

[specman]

It's nice to see people take such pride in the wiring and setup of a shack like this! Geez I wish I had a Racal and/or Watkins-Johnson in my setup....

 

[burner781]

Wow. That is impressive!

Magnificent setup Jody- just magnificent!

I have had to type this using my laptop- I just ruined my other keyboard from all the sudden drooling!

The rack mount setup you have is an inspiration to me- as is your antenna patch cabinet.

Good to see TV splitters and cables in use with communications equipment- I have had very good results with RG-6 quad shield and F connector splitters in the shack here.

Great to see! Regards, Commscanaus.

P.S. Would you be so kind as to post a close up picture of your Signal receivers? You don't see those in operation in many shacks.
