Nice.

Are those power lines running between the antennas?

 

[GrayWolfSA58]

[1979lee]

Nice.

no , but there about 35 to 40 feet above and behind the antennas, major pain too,
i thought about moveing them further away, but then you get into 75ft coax run and thats
bad for about 1 million reasons,

glad you guys liked my shack , thanks for the complements
any advice bout what ya see?

thanks

You may want to go to Wal Mart or a thrift store and invest in a small set of shelves and a couple power strips to organize your radios. I always like having them arranged so I don't have to turn around to change a channel or adjust the volume. But that's just me.

not really needed. My radios are all kept in a backpack, when we go out of town they go with me in that backpack.

thank you for your suggestion,
as you see in the pics above, i had to add an external speaker too the pro2055 (sound is muffeled with the internal speaker) .
it serves me well , what i'd reallylike is a better antenna for the 2055, (currently rs 20-176)
thinking bout st-2 scantenna but $$$(budget).....

Get one of those old style Vietnam War radios that you wear on your back.

haha yea that will take up the space! and nice shack.

 

[enine]

there are some ham guys that do that, since a mobile can put out more power than a handheld they mount a mobile on a backpack with a battery and have a big antenna sticking up from it.

That would be cool. I'd wear it to the grocery store and see how people look at me.

Nice shack setup.

BTW-The pics of your antennas looks like a warning poster the power company would use.
