To the OP;
What's the panel with the gray box and yellow box, right next to the chair? Love your setup; puts me in mind of the setup I had at my old townhouse, where half the basement was hamshack, most of the rest was darkroom, and about 10% was laundry room.
Ah yes, SKYKING broadcasts on 11175 upper (11176 back in the day). I used to have an R392 that I left parked on 11175 or 8992 depending on time of day. I could then sit there and surf the bands on the DX160 or any of my other radios and not miss anything on 11175 (not that what I heard meant anything). Sure was pretty cool to hear the aircraft with "REACH" call signs calling Andrews with enroute traffic.

My first commercial receiver was a DX150A bought with my first few pays. That would have been 1971/1972.
Used to listen to SKYKING broadcasts and I think B52's ex Guam & VN.
