Those who have followed the buildout of the WX4EMT Tahoe PPV have requested a peek into the inner workings of my home station. and.... Since the current station is getting a large facelift I thought the time was right to start a home thread.
First a little history, it is not difficult to see where I get my inspiration. Many years ago I was a young airman in the USAF working on Minuteman Missile systems. Regardless of what you have heard about the current batch of missileers we were a tight knit group of hard nosed SAC trained warriors. Launch control was a somber place but everything had a purpose and in it's duly assigned spot.
So it doesn't take much to see the inspiration for the beginning of my home station.
So I got the idea to RACK mount stuff and one of the first was a Yaesu FT8800. It had been replaced by the Kenwood TM D710 in the truck so it needed a new home:
