Dave Bushong, KZ1O

This is the operating position of KZ1O and N1TMZ. It serves as a home office, as well as the Ham shack. The primary radio is a Kenwood TS-2000, with a microHAM “Micro Keyer” for CW, RTTY, PSK, SSTV, and other modes, and is used from 160 Meters through 70 cm. For voice, a Heil Pro Set Plus can be seen to the far left, near the left-hand Kenwood speaker. The Heil footswitch can be seen on the floor, beneath the center desktop. The backup/multi-op HF radio, a Yaesu FT-900AT, is on the top shelf next to the HP 54602B Oscilloscope.

The white keyboard in the foreground is dedicated to CW and RTTY sending, via the Micro Keyer, and the black keyboard is used for the computer under the desk, to the right. To the left (hidden) is another computer which is dedicated to Ham Radio, and is a dual-boot Windows/Linux system. The keyboard, mouse, and monitor are shared between systems via a KVM switch (not pictured). Logging and operational Ham Radio software is Logger32.

The Ameritron AL-811 amplifier and MFJ-989C antenna tuner are behind the doors on the right, adding to the visual simplicity of the setup when not being used. The antennas are: 1/4-wave inverted-L for 160; a Windom antenna at 80' for 80-10; a 5-element Yagi for 6 Meters, and a dual 4-element Yagi for 2M and 70 cm. None of the antennas are visible from the street.
