The North Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada shack of Markus Hansen, VE7CA.   (9Jan10)  


The top row starts with a SB220, modified for QSK. Next are ANC-4 and MFJ1026 Noise Cancellers and a SteppIR Antenna Control Unit.

The middle shelf houses a home made switching panel with SWR meters, antenna switches, 160 Meter Loop amps etc.  Next in line is a Yaeseu rotator, followed by an old FT-726R vhf/uhf transceiver.   An Elevation-Azimuth Dual rotator, a very old Alliance rotator, and an old Heathkit VHF watt meter finish this level.

On the bottom shelf is a home made Antenna Tuner followed by a 40 meter direct conversion QRP transceiver sitting on top of a home made 6 meter CW/DSB transceiver.  Next is the HBR-2000 160 to 6 meter full featured home made transceiver.  There is a keyer hanging from the bottom of the self and next to that is a much modified Sierra QRP 40 to 10 meter CW transceiver and a QRP Watt Meter. The HBR-2000 transceiver was described in QST for March, 2006.  



This is the work bench which is enclosed in a large closet next to the radio console.   The bottom shelf holds a Heathkit Vu Meter, Dual voltage Power Supply, and a Wavetek Audio Generator.  Above the Wavetek is an AD8307 based power meter (probably the k3nhi variation)  and above that a two tone audio generator.  Next in line is a RF Counter, and above that the AADE Cap/Ind meter.  A lap top connected to a N2PK VNA sits on top of the Scope which sits on top of the W7ZOI/K7TAU spectrum Analyzer which sits on top of a HP8640B.  On the bench are a number of home brew signal sources, home made attenuators, a crystal filter being tested, the N2PK VNA etc.
