WA7MLH
(23 Jan 08)


This is the Montana radio shack of Jeff, WA7MLH.     There is a large collection of both CW and SSB rigs.  Some are single or dual band boxes while others cover many different bands.    The box under the oscilloscope is a homebrew spectrum analyzer that goes up into the UHF spectrum.    

This is Jeff's other hangout, a station set up in Salem, Oregon.  
Jeff manages to get a lot of rigs built.


Here's Jeff's Salem shack after a clean-up session.   The box above the two HP signal generators is a homebuilt spectrum analyzer. This one tops out at about 800 MHz.   You can see that it is feeding the Tek 7704 plug-ins.   The old BC-221 serves here as a VFO for an experimental receiver.


This transceiver operates on 75 M with an output of about 40 W.  This one has a hybrid cascode IF amplifier in it.


This is a work in progress.   Jeff just got it going a couple of days ago and is enjoying the extreme bandspread afforded by the old BC-348 carcass.

Many of the details of the equipment shown above are presented in Jeff's web page, http://www.neoanderthal.com/ .   This is loaded with interesting material on a wide variety of subjects including the construction of first a straw bale cabin, and then a straw bale house at the Montana location.   Jeff has included video clips and sound tracks to photos for many cases.   He also has a lot of great backpacking (sometimes with radio gear) and back-country fishing shots.
