Just got my radio room painted and new carpet today. Now I can order the new corner cubicle desk that I want. I was moving stuff around and snapped a pic of the family.

The 520S was my first rig. The 530S was a fried mess that was headed to the dumpster. It was totally reworked board by board by N6WK. He even repainted the covers and found a mint front panel for it. I found the 820S on EBay cheap. It wasn't transmitting but was minty clean. It had a minor problem in the tube heater circuit. Easy fix and both the 520S and 820S were refurbished by hamrepair.com.

Nice!

I had a TS-830S for about 20 years and foolishly sold it. I had an SM-220 and VFO-230 to go with it at one time. I had a TS-820S for a short time. Then a few years ago I bought a clean TS-520SE off eBay. Since then I've gotten an MC-50 microphone for it (the third one I've owned), the DG-5 display, and an Autek audio filter. I think I'll keep the 'SE for a while. :)

    Incoming Region Produces X3 Solar Flare
    May 15, 2024 @ 14:55 UTC
    Another major solar flare, but this time from an active region just beginning to turn into view off the east limb. It is possible that the group responsible is old AR 3654 from the previous rotation. The latest flare, an X2.99 event just peaked at 14:38 UTC (May 15). Stay tuned
