Certainly,

Since 2007, I collaborate in the website www.zone911.com

From 2001 to 2007, I operated my own website. You can see the somes pics at the following address: www.urgencelanaudiere.com/ul7

On the other hand, I do not have to finish to give on line the 7 last year old files, being victim to a server bug. thats give you a first impression.

Very nice setup. What are you using to stack the Kenwoods and how do you have the rack secured? (desk?, wall?)

 

[gatorhater]

That's very cool and quite sharp. Very organized. Very nice setup.

I simply mounted the radios on perforated plates which is use construction. I bought it in hardware store. http://www.anjac.fr/catalog/product_zoom.asp?code=703708

Thereafter I fixed the radio rack with threaded stems on my perforated desk frame.
