What model SWAN is that up on the top shelf?
My first HF rig was a Swan 500CX back in the
late 80's. I loved that radio except for the drift
on 10 meters.

Hi NEXAS and Steve, yes sir that is a old Swan 500CX, that rig done a great job for me other than the usual drifting. And thank you sir for saying my shack looked alright, theres been a few changes since I took that picture the Swan got sold and the Kenwood was sold. At the moment Im running a Icom 746 in the house and a Yaesu FT-840 in the mobile. Antennas I have a Force 12 5 band 7 element beam up 60 foot and a Cushcraft 13B2 beam for 2 meter and a Cushcraft 5 element 6 meter beam up 60 foot. Then I have 2 towers up 50 foot 300 feet apart with a Carolina Windom 160 stretched between them. It does a real nice job for me. Thanks again fellows and thanks for the welcoming.
