Spotlight WZ1P
WZ1P I do mostly portable work so at home the shack is clean and simple. An Icom IC-700 and IC-7200 (in olive drab) are my rig's of choice. 73, Dan.

I am looking for a ham that lived on Bonita Dr. In Garland Texas in the early 1960's. Last name could be Gifford or close to that. ka5row@windstream.net

Smallest Shack?
A contributor asks, "Lots of people like to boast about how large their ham shacks are but how about a friendly competition to find out who operates from the smallest shack? (HT only excluded.) My shack is 69" x 61" (that's roughly 1.75 m x 1.50 m), about as large as a coat closet, and that includes all my radio equipment (Icom IC-736, Icom IC- 2200H, Icom R-75, 13.8 VDC power supply, computer, monitor, miscellaneous test and monitoring equipment) and my project development workbench. Anyone want to challenge that?"
