This is not a Ham shack with monitoring equipment. This is a monitoring post with a few Transceivers. Outside are a 45' PAR, 125' Random, 3 Discones and an SPD Omni X feeding the receivers. Not listing the equipment in the photo. You guys know what an R75 and an AR ONE look like.

The 45' PAR and the 125' Random are under eve. There are 2 Transmit antennas in this mix. The large horizontal is a Cushcraft D3 3 band and the vertical fiberglass in between the 2 discones is a Diamond 2m/440 antenna. I am able to mount low because my QTH is on a 60ft cliff above Lake Whitney. I am running coax through a MFJ multi pass through. The SPD is coax N connector direct into the shack. I have several 5/8" ground rods driven in a little over 7ft. I set them with a 90lb demo hammer and hit the limestone cap at that depth. Short coax runs to both passive and amplified Stridesberg 1x4 multicouplers let me spread the antennas around and keep the loss fairly low. As a side note the SPD Omni X feeding the AR5000 is an aviation frequencies vacuum. So far it is out performing everything in the room.
