My Shack In 1974

This is what my shack looked like 37 years ago. I put it in the closet next to the washer and dryer (we didn't have a basement).

Small but great, I had the Drake Twins and this is the era when I discovered DX.

I built my first beam ever from scrap aluminum following the instructions in Bill Orr's Handbook. I couldn't afford a tower so I put it on the roof of the house. To my amazement I could hear stations I'd never heard before with my verticals and dipoles. Like Australia.
