This is my base station. It is NEVER this organized, but I cleaned it up before I took the pics.

I run three radios: A Realistic TRC-457, a TRC-458, and an RCI 2950. I use the 457 for 26.555 to 27.205 on AM. The 458 is for SSB 27.315 to 27.805. The 2950 is for 10 meters (28 to 29 Mhz).

I have two amps: a Golden Hooker 200W PEP, and a TX 600 - 1000W PEP. The tube amp in the pic is homemade. The builder was dreaming when he put 1KW on it. It will MAYBE do 500W on a good day. I don't use it much.

My antennas are an Antron 99, a Maco 105HV beam, and a 10 meter horizontal dipole.

I also have an ICOM IC-28H 2 meter rig ready to go whenever I get an antenna up.

    Hello gentlemen and Ladies. I have the dreaded RCI-2990 receive issue where my radio gets distorted when people get close to my location. I found the C90 Capacitor, but I can not for the life of me find the C89 capacitor. Can or does anyone have a picture of the exact location of C89 ? Thank you in advance, Wes
