Tower and antenna.
The Mosley CL-33 tri-band beam is up 45 feet. Above the Mosley, is a 22 element Cushcraft for 2 Meters. Both beams and tower have been up since 1974.
Below the Mosley is the apex of my 520' horizontal loop antenna. In addition, a 280' delta loop antenna runs up the tower and out 120' attached to a tree anout 40' high and back to the bottom of the tower where it is fed with 450 ohm line. Both wire antenna tune up thru 6 meters.
My shack is in my finished basement. It gives me a quiet place to operate.
My primary rig is a Kenwood TS-590S, my second rig is a ICOM IC-746 and my third rig is my Kenwood TS-520 that I purchased new in 1974. I alternate bettween the three rigs. The linear amp is an Ameritron AL-811H. I use a Palstar AT2KD tuner usually only needed with the TS-520. The internal tuner on both TS-590S and the IC-746 handle the tuning without the need for the Palstar. A kenwood TM-V71A handles my 2 Meter and 440 needs. The Motorola handles the 900Mhz band.
