Wish List

I thought that I'd share a wish list today.  I'm next expecting anyone to give me this stuff, just wanted to post the direction that I'm heading in the shack.  And maybe give my XYL some hints for my birthday and Father's day...  ;-)

It'll also be neat to look back over this list in a few years and see how my wants have changed and if I actually managed to acquire any of this.


For the shack:

• Palstar AT2K
• HF Amp 
• Alpha
• Ameritron
• Shure SM-7B Mic w/ boom
• 6m/2m/70cm verical 
• Diamond V-2000A
• 6m/2m/70cm triplexer 
• Diamond MX-2000N
• Bencher Iambic Paddle
• Uniden HOME PATROL Scanner
• Telepost Inc LP-100A Power/SWR meter
• Telepost Inc LP-500 Station Monitor

For the truck:

• Kenwood TS-480SAT
• GPS with NMEA out
• Green Light Labs GPS for APRS 
• AvMap G6
• Tarheel 100A-HP
• Uniden BCD-996XT Digital Scanner
• Icom ID-1 (look for an upcoming post on what I want to do with the truck)
• Icom IC-2820H with D-STAR and GPS module

For the bench:

• Tektronix 465 O-Scope
• Hakko Hot Air Rework Station
• Drill Press
• PCB Drill
• Capacitor tester

Of course, since I'm dreaming I might as well wish for a new QTH with dedicated room for my shack, and a 300' tower with stacked mono-band beams for all bands, a couple of beverage or rhombic arrays for receive and enough cash not to have to work ever again so that I can enjoy my hobby full time.  ;-D

Anywho, thanks for reading my pointless post of the day!  ;-)

73,
