His Shack is anchored by a Yaesu FT-991A, you can make out much of the other gear, Bruce is a regular on the WA6FHZ repeater nets and learning to work FT8 with the tutelage of Tim N6DLC… Great work Bruce now lets see who else wants to “Show Us Theirs” Maribel KN6HSW a humble beginning with a BaoFeng BF-F8HP, two backup batteries, a shoulder speaker/mic, and a Technician license.
