K7AGE, Hamshack Tour 2

August 21 2006, five years ago I posted my first youtube video. So, on this 5th anniversary I thought I would provide an updated tour of the hamshack. Plus I reflect back on some of the five years of posting.

A couple of things that I did not cover in the video.

Henry, the big ole floor amp is no longer, Henry has been replaced by AL, Ameritron AL-82.

I have a Hallicrafters SX-71 receiver. This alone is probably worth a video.

Also, I didn't show my Echolink node. A old PC interfaced using a Fox Delta interface to a Yaesu FT-7800 dual band radio. I am trying to have this on during the weekends. It does transmit locally on 446.00 FM.

Keep up the good work Randy! - how about contacting the Amateurlogic.tv guys - you could do a segment for them? that would be awesome!

@bbjunkie1023 George shot an interview with me at Leo's place. I heard from George that the video should be up next week. Keep checking amateurlogic.tv

Randy - Happy anniversary! I am a big fan of your channel and have really enjoyed the content. Kudos on your excellent videography skills. I sure do appreciate all your hard work.

Wish I had known your were at SEAPAC in Seaside, Oregon. That was my first ham event and it would have been icing on the cake to shake your hand.

Thanks so much for updating us on your shack and your channel. I am just learning about Ham radio and I find your channel to be the best Ham related one on youtube. I hope you'll continue make videos. 73.

Randy, Thank you for taking the time to make these videos. I just discovered them but I have learned quie a bit. I am a newly licensed HAM and videos like this help.
