I am the Siemens Radio Amateur Of The year, for the second time. I was given this award "In recognition for his enthusiasm in embracing technology in furthering amateur radio as a technical and educational activity." My shack is the old maids courters outside. I have since we moved here redone the electricity, installed a wall long table, and a couple of shelves. I will post a photo of it here someday.I have five rigs. In my shack I have a GE Phoenix, a Motorola GM300 ,a emcom vhf rig(for packet) and a Kenwood TS-120(in the white house, for some pll problem.The last rig is for my moms vehicle.Its a QD Bantam PX.
