way back when i was a kid, phone's didn't even come in that color. they were all black and had a rotary dial. very nostalgic.

One of the guys I work with has an old black rotary phone on his desk. It still has the old number with the three letter location in the center of the rotary. We hooked it up to our asterisk box and is in use again.

Very nice, clean setup!! I love those wideband helical antennas. They really make a diference in reception on the Motos!!

On the left side of the desk is a safe that I keep my go kit in it has 6 XTS5000 and 2 XTS2500 and a HF radio also a base vhf radio. I use the two cases that you can see in one of the photos to transport the emergency go kit.
