My HamShack

Rig Control Computer
What you see above is two computers, with 4 monitors that control my Icom HF Rigs.
(IC-746Pro,IC-910H & IC-718)
One computer controls the 746Pro (using 4 monitors) and the other computer controls the 910H & 718
A KVM switch allows me to switch between computers.
The monitor in the center right is "Ham Radio Deluxe" (the best rig control software available), on the center left is is "Ham Radio Deluxe Satellite Tracking" (Newest addition to the HRD Suite) and on the far right is "VOA Prop" the tried and true Propogation prediction softwareDigital Communications Interface, the monitor on the far left is running "VE7CC-1 Cluster Software".
I also run an APRS Digi/iGate from my house, using an IC-2200H connected to a PK232 TNC with a dedicated computer running UI-VIEW software.
I am currently testing Xastir (Linux based APRS Software) which if all goes as planned will go up as a SatGate.

The "Titan" Antenna

This antenna is "BIG", I built my own "tilt over" antenna mount, as I have heard stories that this antenna has taken down chimneys in high winds. With this antenna mounted on top of my house, the top of this antenna is almost 70 feet from the ground.
