This is Bob at the operating postion of VE3NX. Featured here is an FT1000, an IC756pro and other items which Bob enjoys with a special focus on 160m phone. Bob can be found many evenings on 1975khz.
This is a recently licensed ham Chris VA3OCT, in QSO with Shaun VE3PSV on the trans provincial net. Bob VE3NX and Tom VA3TS had just finished assisting Chris in getting his station on the air on 80/40/20/15 and 10 with a multi dipole with a single feedline. Three dipoles were installed for 80/40/20 with 15 and 10 being useable as a bonus. In addition Chris has a copper cactus for 2 metres. Chris uses an FT840 for HF and an FT2800 for VHF. Best of luck to Chris and welcome to the hobby.
Malen VA3VID, our club President, shown here at his operation position in his home QTH. As you can see Malen has a nice setup arranged in a rack which help keep station components neat and tidy.
