Shack Showcase K9AQMP - My humble shack
K9AQMP - My humble shack After over 30 years and a down sized move, this is my shack now. I'm using an Icom IC-746 with a Heil ICM mic. Among many keys, mostly use a Vibroplex Vibrokeyer or Nye Vikng Master. The antenna, due to restrictions, is a SLINKY inverted V mounted in the attic. For help with digital communications is a Rigblaster Plus.
