My Station

[Atlasta]

It took a few decades but I finally got the setup I've always wanted. Not the biggest radio by any means but it works well for me!

FYI, the blue pins in the map are contacts made via CB and the green pins are places heard on the shortwave.

Wow. This is one of the cleanest station setups I've seen in a long time.

Yeah, I 'm a bit obsessive when it comes to stuff like that. A place for everything and all of that...

I'd like to have a model 90. I think that old 135 uses a 90-7. The radio also has the 10 KC slider mod. When I got the rig it had a vernier on the clarifier but it proved to be unnecessary so it was removed.

As it is currently set up the VFO tops out at 27.735 +/- a few KC. Yes it drifts (didn't they all?) If it tweak the tuning cap on the bottom it will go almost to 27.995 but then there is a gap between channel 20 and channel 40.

Not really much of an issue as I don't like getting too close to the 10 M band especially with all that unfiltered sweep tube gear.

Not bad..

The Best part though...Is your 3300 ft elevation ( by far !! )
Bet you get out pretty good

@ Morse: I got the map from Wide World of Maps. That map is unlaminated and cost around $38. Laminated versions that are blue instead of brown run around $80.

@KingCobra: Yes, the elevation does help. Even so I am still in a valley surrounded by mountains.
