[EIDXA] February "Shack-of-the-Month

[Jim Spencer]

Dear OM's and YL's:

I always call them as I see them.  Sometimes I don't see them very well.  A 
few friends have tried to give me hints--I'm sure feeling sorry for me about 
my observation skills.

More comments:
1.  Looks like the op is a excellent cabinet maker--it is very nice 
furniture.  I know it is not W3ACO who has great skills in that area but so 
do others in the EIDXA

2.  The magazine on the desk was pointed out.  Looks like "IBIS" to me.  I 
believe that is a British ornithology magazine--could we have a bird 
watcher?  It could also be a catalog for a chain of European hotels.  Could 
our mystery station owner be a traveler?  Probably not with all those 
plaques!

3.  Undercover spies have revealed that that non-Collins looking thing on 
the left end of the desk is really a Maestro, baton and all.  I can't see it 
very well but, heck, I trust the spy.

4.  The gold thing in front of the lower 30L-1 look like a gold "thing" but 
I would suspect it is a Fort Knox paddle.  That means the mystery op gets on 
CW and getting on CW with a S-line means he like a challenge.

5.  This may be the only Collins S-line SO2R installation in the free world. 
I wonder how he does the switching?

If I were to rewrite my first note I could change several statements, I 
could even name the mystery station.  What is the fun in doing that?

73,  Jim  W0SR

Neat idea, Joe.

No, it is not W0GJ--I see no Flex!  It is a big time contester you can see
from all the plaques.  The Collins station is beautiful, a true collector.
I would be willing to bet that the contest plaques were not won using the
Collins station.  Therefore, we are not seeing the main station.  That being
the case, we don't know if it is a single or multi-operator station.  Since
it has a lot of contest plaques, it has been around for some time.  It is a
well funded operation.   I'll bet it is not in Iowa.

OK, I'm confused.

G’day Fellow EIDXA Members,

Craig – K0CF has put the February “Shack-of-the-Month” photograph on the
EIDXA web site. It is linked from the “Members” page, but this is a direct
link:   http://www.eidxa.org/Members/SotM.html


Please email me (radiojoe_k8om at msn.com) with your guess and let’s see how
many can figure out the owner / operator of this fine station!



While your on the EIDXA web site, take a look around and see all of the FB
upgrades Craig has implemented. Thank you Craig for all of your excellent
work!



73,



Joe – K8OM
