Antenna Party at the new location

The ham radio mentor n1jfu, Steve generously offered his help, time, resources to getting an excellent start to the ham shack here at the new home location.

Steve teaches that design is very important in getting your station set up. A well thought out design can save you time and give you flexibility as you try out different modes, radios etc. throughout your ham radio career. He also teaches it's better to use high grade connectors and transmission lines. Why buy an expensive radio and have junk for your weakest link?

I am grateful for Steve's help.

Thank you Steve!

The LMR 400, 200, and connectors arrive


2 inch hole in the ceiling of the closet


standard electric outlet with 2 inch hole
drilled in the back. So if the shack is moved
this hole can be covered by a standard plate.


the 'workshop'



Steve does great work! Will be adding ground.
