My home Ham radio setup....ham shack, if you will 

That’s the fun of HAM radio...endless tinkering! It’s been a few years since I’ve been on the air but my shack is still my pride and joy! Thanks for sharing! Kind Regards and 73! Pat

Hello from Vancouver Island - British Columbia, Canada ..... 2013 KLR (yellow) and VE7FIS. 73 :)

nice setup. i just retired from the Army and i found some cobra heads left in my gear. Think I will use them for my dipole. Thanks for the ideas

I wish my attic was awesome like yours. Drop down stairs, Walkable floor and even you could put sofas and chill up there!

Your wife has done excellent JOB decorating for Christmas! Nice video on ham radio setup.

Change your antenna to a loop and feed it with ladder line much more flexible

You got me thinking Ron.I miss my ham hooked up.Ive got an old Heathkit 310 my dad left me.Thanks for the video.

Thank you .Nice shack

Love your set up, your house and your wife being a Christmas fan!

Nice job on your ham gear Iam been in radio sense Feb 1983 started with Cb radio and still got I been a ham for 18 years When I get time now the Winter I'll be at it

Somehow I missed these when you posted them, great setup with the antennas!

Don't worry about not having an auto tuner in your radio. The range of most built in tuners isn't wide enough to tune a long wire.

Nice keeping it simple. Been off the air for some time. About 15 years, just picked up FT-DX1200. my luck the sun is a problem with ham radio now, just for a while. God my wife loves me 73 de KQ4CDPaul

Loved the video and tour of the shack also wanted to say. You have a lovely house. Just passed my foundation licence over here in bonnie Scotland. Best wishes to you and your family for Christmas. Craig MM6MZE

My compliment

Wow buddy amazing set up . I've a question. How does the larger dipole compare to say a vertical antron 99 antenna on say 27.555 usb calling channel are the dipoles better for gain and transieving ???

love it man great stuff

Nice setup, (and nice looking QTH.) Have you considered for screen recording, a program called Screencast-O-Matic? '73/Steve

Hola. Buena idea la de montar la antena interior, muy idea.buena y practica. Y el arbol de navidad, "espectacular".....

I'm wondering If you could help me I'm new to game radio and am planning on building a tree house in this huge oak tree we have got and planning to have a radio setup in there and it being a big tree means I'll have the opportunity for a gig antenna but am unsure on what type and weather to buy one or build one

Not a bad setup at all!! Keep it simple!! I haven't posted any pictures or videos of my shack cause, well when I first got in I wasn't on RU-vid and from 96 to 2006 my setup at one time looked like a NASA control center. I had phone patch setup, ran three different packet stations had 3 different HF stations, a amp for the HF, had several 2 meter mobiles, 10 meter mobile, 6 meter mobile and a MFJ 6 meter ssb transceiver. I had two towers up, one 20 footer with a 10 meter beam and a dual 11 element phased 2 meter beam, and one 30 footer with a tri-bander beam on it. I was the President of our local ham radio club, WV Fone Net Manager on 3.865 MHz, Net Control Station, I was a Army MARS operator and at one time before I got out of the hobby I was the WV Army MARS Director. Then I got out in 2006 due to some medical reasons and sold off everything. Fall of 2017 I got back into the hobby and bought me a used Yaesu FT-757gx station, matching power supply speaker and a matching auto antenna tuner. Sorry for the long comment. Just saying simple is nice!! Juddie WD8WV

You give me great idea...I like 20 meters anyway and it's a fairly short antenna. I should make a dedicated 20 meteralso.

RON, WORKED AS AN EMERGENCY DISPATCHER MAKING GREAT MONEY UNION IT WAS A CMED CENTER WE HAD MOTOROLA CONSOLS OF COURSE A GREAT JOB WONT LAST AMR AMBULANCE TOOK IT OVER BROKE IT UP IF I WAS NOT SO CLINICALLY DEPRESSED FOR LOOSING MY JOB WOULD HAVE TAKEN THE COUNSOLS OUT GREAT FOR A HAM SHACK STEPHEN

RON , COOL STUFF MAN REALLY COOL STUFF.....

Cool video. KK7T.

Good video

Hey Ron, I was just looking at your attic video again, it reminded me of a attic video that i saw once. This guy on youtube had his ham shack set up in his attic i can't remember the video that i watched, but your attic would make a great place to set up a ham shack. you would definitely need a air conditioner up their in the summertime.' Your antenna farm looks great hope you have good results Ron. What did you use to get your antennas up in trees so high? Do you have a air cannon? All that i have is the MF-2268 clamped on top the close line pole. I am disabled and i have a hard time tossing a wire up in the trees i was thinking of getting a 22 cal dog launcher tool the type that hunters use to train hunting dogs i think that i can get one on amazon or ebay. I will be looking into it soon.The vertical is nice but their is nothing like a dipole antenna. I bought one of those whizz loop antennas like Tony used at his mom's house in New York on ThanksGiving, and a couple of other videos in Florida, the problem with the whizz Loop, is you need to be on the second floor of your home to get any reception at all. I am out of luck because live in ranch house on a cement slab Well 73' Ron thanks for your videos and ideas that you have given me god bless you and your family 73's have a great day ! Kevin

Wheres the direct tv dish in that pic . huh???

I agree with you on the stairs, i don't have a lot of knowledge about the radio seems interesting though. Your Christmas decorations look great, but that one boxwood bush needs a little tlc. Lol 😂 oh by the way... I got to ride today about 35 miles total.

How'd yo figure how many ferrite beads to use?

Tried attic antennas. My 65zt60 plasma wipes out everything. Wife binges netflix, so no go till 10 11pm. Any lightning protection?

Love your house

Nice setup. I like the BNC to binding post on your 20M dipole. Thanks for sharing heading to part 2 now !

Like your shadow box

Thank you for sharing. Glen, N0QFT

Nice setup. I am wondering how much this Ham radio hobby could cost me. If I can build my own antennas that might help. I like your setup. Thanks. 73, #HamInTraining

Wow! Awesome, great shack, Ron C! Your antennas are powerfule, I think. Thank yo for sharing! de JP1QEC MOT.

How did you get that antenna in the trees?? ... crazy all the things you need for that hobby.

How did you ground your equipment in the house?

NICE VIDEO, WELL DONE! My Brother......de w3les

Just passed my technician exam, any suggestions for a cheap but good radio?

Yellow walls are very disturbing and some studies show them to cause agitation as one cannot relax with that color all around. Seriously beautiful house and great setup!

Fairly Old House hehehe my house was built in the 1700's

dude, that attic would be a good ham shack itself! think about it.

Damn these Como guys and there tech. Lol cool setup though. Im just jealous. Lol

its a 49:1 unun

Happy wife happy life lol smib

verry cool men ,greethings koenraad belguim

That's the way mine started. It's an awesome mess now. 73's

you need a haircut freefalling wiv loft stairs,eh,yooo watt ?..

Hilarious, I installed those ladder stairs with my dad also years back. Awful job.

Well one you must have common sense on any kind of home improvements

Nice shack and antenna farm. Boy this hobby can keep you hopping. Tks for the video 73 Leo k1zek I'm good on QRZ and RU-vid. pls ck me out

BNC to Binding post adapter........"Cobra Head"...

Nice functional setup. But No, I'm not hiring anyone to work on attic stairs. Whatever effort it took you were much better off doing it yourself.
