I
selected a Kenwood TS870 based
upon good reviews of
DSP IF and excellent audio quality. [ 2009 update: Yaesu
FT950, with very good transmit audio] I wanted something that was clean
sounding - and I haven't been disappointed. Also
in the shack are an oscilloscope for transmitter level setup, a
command
technologies 2 x 3cx800 (triode) amplifier, a bird 600 watt dummy
load and a venerable Johnson kilowatt matchbox. Click the

The
antenna system for 40 and 75 meters is a
center fed 130 foot, inverted-v dipole, with apex at 80 feet.
This is the classic multiband antenna, fed with 10 gauge open
wire line. A Moseley Classic 33 triband trap yagi above the
inverted-v performs well on 20, 15, and 10 meters. At the very
top is a scanner discone for two meters. Here is more detail.

No self-respecting radio
broacast engineer would be complete without
some audio equipment, but I've resisted the temptation to go totally
upside down bonkers with it - no $2,000 Neumann microphones ... Here is
a page showing that equipment, along with a typical audio rant.
