United States Amateur Radio Station NC9C

​​

Main HF Radio: Yaesu FTDX101-D.  This has been a great radio.  I have the Yaesu Quadra amplifier hooked up to the 101.  This radio is connected to the tri-band (10-15-20 meters) Mosley beam mounted on a Yaesu rotator at 65 feet.  It is also connected to the Alpha Delta sloper for use on 160-80-40 meter bands and the other 6 meter Cushcraft beam at 70 feet.














Second HF radio:  Yaesu FT-DX1200.  I find this fairly inexpensive radio to be a very good performer.  I have run this radio for 5 years with no issues. This radio is connected to the tri-band (10-15-20 meters) Mosley beam mounted on a Yaesu rotator at 65 feet.  It is also connected to the Alpha Delta sloper for use on 160-80-40 meter bands and the other 6 meter Cushcraft beam at 70 feet.














Third HF Radio:  Yaesu FT-847. Getting close to 20 years old with no issues.  This doesn't have the performance of the newer rigs but it darn good in it's own right.  Also a great radio for satellite work.


Fourth HF Radio: Kenwood TS-940S.  A great 30 year old transceiver that was a king in its day. 














SW Receiver:  Kenwood R-5000.  A classic shortwave radio.  Quite expensive in its day 35 years ago.  I had a Kenwood R-1000 but wanted one of these.  I've owned this one for 15 years.  I use this with a long-wire on the roof of the house.














SW Receiver:  Panasonic RF-4900. Another classic shortwave radio.  Rugged, military good looks.  The performance is not on par with the Kenwood R-5000 but still a pleasure to use.













I installed a Geochron 4K on a 32 inch 4k Samsung monitor.  I always wanted a Geochron since the 1970's and now the 4K has made it affordable and extremely versatile. 


I have some various old things around the shack I've picked up from estate sales and antique stores.
