I have been licensed since 1982 with a few years of inactivity. I enjoy nets and traffic handling, and chasing DX on PSK and Mobile. I have several radios ! I am a radio junkie. Icom 746pro, FT 450, Ft 950, ft 587D mobile. The latest additon is a new Elecraft K3 SN  3447, and a trade for a used K2 with outboard 100 watt amp.Split up this unit is a great QRP rig. 

My Brother got me going on Elecraft.  I just looked at his radios starting with the K1 then K2 But when the K3 showed up my interest was piqued !!! I had already bought 2 radios this year so another seemed out of the question. However with the passing of my Father (KA0PER) in July I decided to buy it as a memorial to him. I am retired and you can't take it with you.

The photo above shows the K2 on the left, The K3 sitting on the power supply then the Ft 950 and finally the IC 746 Pro. I made 2 of the three Mic booms out of cheap desk lamps.  The K3 has an HM 10 Heil dual element and the Icom has a Goldline dual element.

The shack is located in the basement , Cool in the summer and warm in the winter since just to my right is the Furnace and hot water heater..
