FINALLY - I got out the camera and took a photo of my desk setup. I haven’t put it on QRZ yet - may do something different over there. But for now, look at my web site under “My Equipment”. Right at the top is a shot of the desk and a description of what’s on top. Http://www.w6jhb.com <http://www.w6jhb.com/>
BTW - I also added a handful of new QSL’s to the “Favorite QSL’s” link - some are pretty cool!! 73, Jim / W6JHB > On Monday, Sep 14, 2015, at Monday, 1:00 PM, Jerry Moore > <[email protected]> wrote: > > Any pictures?
