The W1JKS Shack

My "Shack" (really just a corner in the basement) in all its simplistic and low power glory (and a mug of yours truely!).

As currently equipped, my station consists of:

  • Elecraft K2/100 Transceiver (S/N: 6138) with options:
    • 100W Amplifier (KPA100)
    • SSB (SSB2)
    • 160M, 2nd RX Antenna (K160RX)
    • Noise Blanker (KNB2)
    • Audio Filter and Clock (KAF2)
    • High Power Automatic Antenna Tuner (KAT100)
    • 20W Internal ATU (KAT2)
    • Internal Battery Kit (KBT2)
    • Wideband 20W Dummy Load (DL1)
  • W1CG Low Power Balun - the kit was sold out, but I bought some FT114-43 Ferrite toroidal cores from the Toroid King and build one anyhow!
  • Bencher Iambic Paddles (BY-1)
  • MFJ-4225MV 25 Amp Switching Power Supply w/ Voltmeters
  • I also bought a flat panel monitor and brought an old PC back into service.
