Equipment

Recent shack's layout is much bigger than the first one. It had one small desk in the corner with power supply ATLAS 350, IC-746pro and dipole for 20m band. As i got more into radio and bought more equipment, i also redesigned my table/desk (made it bigger) and prepared holes for antenna wires. Franci S51WC helped me with putting up the tower and antennas. The tower is 12m high, made of iron and was used in the army beforehand. It both still works perfectly.

For HF i have YAESU FT-1000MP MARK V FIELD. Elite-class transciver perfect for contest, with optional filters YF-114SN(2,0 khz ssb) and YF-114CN(250hz cw). I also instaled INRAD roofing filter witch is very useful for contests.

For VHF i have Yaesu FT-857D witch is working great. For "Magic band" i also use FT 857D.

RTTY operating and other digi modes i have MicroHAM micro keyer. It is a powerful All-In-One multi-mode USB interface for CW, SSB, AM, FM, and digital modes (RTTY, PSK31, SSTV, APRS, PACKET, EchoLink and many others). I am using logger 32, N1MM, MTTY all instaled on TOSHIBA TECRA A4.

That is equpiment witch i currently use but in future i would like to improve my antennas (bigger tower and better antennas).
