My station has progressed over the years from an old Hallicrafter's S-108 that I used just for SWLing, to using this along with a homebuilt transmitter, to my 1st dream station, a Yaesu FT101E and a 2 element cubical quad, and finally to my present stations.  I say stations because I have my primary station and I also fire up my vintage Hallicrafters station once in a while.

My primary station consists of:

• My trusty ICOM 756 transceiver

• Astron Power Supply with Rigrunner power distribution

• A newly acquired ACOM 1000 amplifier

• Homebuilt computer to radio control interface

• Homebuilt computer to radio PSK31 and CW interface

• DX4WIN software for logging

• MMTTY and PSK31 Deluxe for general RTTY and PSK31 operation

• Writelog software for contesting

My Vintage Station still works great.  

I used it to get my vintage DX 100 award #9.  It  consists of:

• A beautiful Hallicrafters SX-115 receiver

• Hallicrafters HT-32 transmitter

• Hallicrafters R-48 Speaker

• Hallicrafters HA-1 Keyer

• Heathkit SB-220 Amplifier

• Heathkit HM-102 Wattmeter

Schematic for keying the SB220 Amp with the IC-756   I don't use this anymore with the ACOM amp, but thought that somefolks would be interested.
