Hi,
Here are some photos of the shack and new RV.
Not shown in the shack is a Viking Ranger that will be added soon for AM mode, as the Collins 32V-2 no longer feels like providing any grid drive. (Will fix it someday).
No radio in the RV yet, but there is a YAESU 857D ready to go in, as soon as I get a chance.

There is no way all that will fit in the MH! Have you considered a school bus?

I had an old Collins receiver tuning around the bands will give you carpal tunnel!

Pic of the Mobile Nerd Cave. Escape Hatch E20 (significantly modified with solar, computer, radio etc) and towed with 2017 F150.

Radio is Icom7300 in a custom radio enclosure and integrated with a PC with an I7/32GB and GE Force video card. Antenna is a DX Engineering DXE-TW-2010L-P vertical 5 band dipole which is easy to setup and seems to have good radiation (worked 50 new countries on the trip). Work primarily FT8 and POTA

Loosely based in the Phx area, but migrate with the temps.
