G0SEC Ham Shack Video with the New LP500 Station Monitor Part 1

[@jcameraz]

Just found this video, brand new, not tested yet into HAM world. Inspiring video, truly a labor of love here. Great job!!

[@matteng2332]

What an absolute beauty, congratulations on a beautiful shack.

[@davidvelen9835]

Very impressive! I have been running an Icom 746 PRO for close to 10 years would love to upgrade one day to a 7800 , I think being able to display the radios screen on a computer monitor is just great. Thanks for taking the time to do this and 73's W5DPV

[@tomleung3312]

Terrific video and a great set up. I agree.....there is no rule to say that you must plead poverty in order to be a ham operator. You don't need to be a mechanic to be a great driver. If you have the resources and not much time or patience, just get the gear you want and start enjoying! All the power to you!

[@mm6kha]

Hello james...You certainly won't be disappointed with the IC-7851. It's an amazing transceiver, everything on/in - it, Is just pure quality!. Thanks for the tour of your great shack again!. All the best!. 73

[@TheHamshack]

Yea thanks Karl, oh yea I am looking forward to it, in no rush but would like to do it sometime in the near future. All the best and do listen out for me on the bands. James.

[@glynnhm0lsg308]

One of the best shacks I've ever seen

[@colinsmith4185]

A lot of great gear,super set up,Colin.

[@BronxCowboy]

Gorgeous shack my brother. I envy your obvious labors. Cheers

Very nice shack, aren't you glad you found ham radio as a hobby! Thanks for the video. Leo

[@TheHamshack]

That is my old shack my new alot nicer

[@daviddenniston8099]

Thank you for this great video. Your detailed overview of the various components of your shack is both informative and enjoyable. I have learned a great deal. Wishing your all the best - 73 Dave K1DBD

[@silvermine2033]

That's impressive! Greetings from America!

[@VTjeepNoutdoors]

Awesome setup James! Must be about time for another upload? Hope all is well. ATB~Gary

[@paulbaker7926]

Love your enthusiasm James, great stuff.

[@Radio-Hobbyist]

Fantastic shack! I might have to look into one of those LP-500s. Cheers!

[@Penn1969]

Hi there James, yeah I would have to agree, very nice looking shack is always. I'm just looking at a load of wires coming through a hole in my wall which makes me feel quite ashamed when I look at how yours is set up. I think it's about time that I did something similar to you. Basically I think I'll probably have about three or four coaxial cables coming from outside, what was that piece of equipment you had that made it more straightforward to run the cables from outside in?

[@TheHamshack]

Hi Penn, I have a junction box outside my shack, all cables go out from the cable plate in the shack and straight into the box out side, there is actually 9 cables in total but the 4 you see in the video are all for HF, the other go out at ground level and they are for vhf and uhf.. All the DX engineering filters are in the box and then all the cables go underground to the tower base.. The plate on the you see in the video is one I got in Aluminium and just drilled 4 holes in it neatly, and 4 smaller ones to screw it to the wall.. Cheap and neat bud.. Hope all is well with you bud. James G0SEC

[@brentonmeadowsvk3cm]

PS, I'm a 7850 owner, you will love the 7851 if you upgrade, fantastic radio.cheersBrenton

[@TheHamshack]

Hi Brenton, yea I am looking forward to when I have the 7851 in the shack, will be doing this in the next year, the upgrade will be worth it im sure, they both look superb and performance that i have read is also superb. James

[@miguelsalami]

Your station is Smashing mate!

[@hihopeseveryday]

Gday James, greetings from down under. Nice layout indeed, I coulod feel right at home there! Love the mic, and yes understand in trying to find the right mic for ones voice. Remember the saying the timber of their voice? Has so many true characteristics. I've recently upgraded to the MXL 770. Have also the BCD1 that was pretty good but the 770 now I'm happy. It runs into a Behringer X1204 mixer and the W2IHY to match into my TS940S, TS430, or ICom 721. It's all still good fun and thats what it's all about, cheers mate thanks for the video which i jope to start getting around to one fine day 73's from daryl vk2eat

[@PaulHeller-W3PH]

Wonderful shack, and I enjoy your enthusiastic demonstrations. W3PH

[@ljavtech1479]

[@RGsedona]

[@michaelm1keyhardy865]

[@grahambeech1731]

Is your desk custom made? Looks really great

[@watchfan6180]

How did you get planning permission for the antenna?? What is you secret? Amazing shack.

[@live2digmetal]

Fantastic shack! Aside from the obvious high-end equipment, I wonder where you got the desk unit?

[@TheHamshack]

i made the desk unit myself.. working on my new shack at mo it will be different to this one and should be ready end of march beginning of april 2018.. the new shack has a new 49" long ultra wide monitor in it ... will be alot diifferent but nice.

[@paulclark7664]

Superb set up..

[@axel76]

Awesome shack, congratulations

[@glaros0]

Amazing station. What cables are you using for HF/VHF/UHF?Thanks,73 Kostas

[@jimancoda]

Fantastic shack mate, can you tell me which max mini your using? Im going to copy your software/computer set up. Thank you

[@titancribbing3363]

That’s unreal man, my mind is spinning.

[@mickgatz214]

what a setup!!! Well Done. :), great video Dunno why ppl give this a thumbs down.....

[@TheHamshack]

this is my old station, My new one is in the process of being made which due to my illness has been delayed quite abit but i am abaout half way on the new shack build, The new shack is going to be different as it is alot more modern. The 7800 lovely as she was in now wold so i sold that on, The new radio will eventually me a new Expert MB1 but to start with I will have 2 x TS870's hooked up to the Expert SDR on a 4ft3 monitor on the wall and it will be nice the new shack. Just a shame it is taking so long, due to go in hospital for surgery then when i have recovered I will finish the new shack but its a long process to completion. James G0SEC

[@CarmeloFalzon]

Awesome looking shack...

[@TheHamshack]

[@rico1319]

Really enjoyed the introduction to your shack. Please tell me the name of the logging program again using Mac? I would love to get it running in my shack? W5PN 👍😎🇨🇱

[@TheHamshack]

Hi Rico, the logging program is MacLoggerDX its the best but will only run on mac machines. In process of building new shack at mo.. James G0SEC

[@rico1319]

[@alvarogaitan2529]

[@sethlavinder]

[@TheHamshack]

Yes I made this myself, follow my new videos as my new desk is going to be alot better, I am half way through the new shack build. this desk was ok but i did not have alot of room in front of me and to the sides so the new desk is alot nicer but yea I built it to answer your question. Hope this helps... James G0SEC

[@cathrynm]

Nice tower.

[@ZIMMAS1K]

1st of all You have a AMAZING setup & you are clearly well versed & a experienced operator ... Unfortunately because you rushed this recording you ruined it ... Please do another but just S - L - O - W Down abit... Use slow steady camera movements so we can actually look properly at your equipment whilst you explain . 👍

[@26CW128Jake]

11:06 did that say GB3DA? That's a repeater near me in England! (I'm guessing it just sounds like it!)

[@captain-Luca-is0hmz]

Amazing statio sir! 73 from Sardinia island

[@rtgideon]

Great radio shack alright!!! Randy. California.

[@overthetop3852]

Beautiful shack mine will never be no where like that, don't no how people afford it all 73 good dx

[@michaelromanello9462]

Your MacMini's, Are they both the same Models? what looks different then the other one. DE KL7BK

[@TheHamshack]

Hi Mike, one is actually the Mini Mac and one is the additional SSD Drive and has extra USB ports on it, the mini mac is extremely quiet, infact you cant hear the fan at all its that quiet, the speed of it is rocket fast too, amazing little machine it really is and it always runs cool. Hope this helps. James.

[@michaelromanello9462]

Thanks, I'll be picking one up today at the apple store in Anchorage. I'm using HRD but I like the dx spotting that Maclogger does.

[@TheHamshack]

Hi again Mike, oh macloggerdx is stunning, specially if you have more then one monitor as you can set things up so nicely, the mini mac has 2 monitor ports on the back so real handy, best pc ive ever had in the shack as its so quiet but really fast, the other unit i have is called ionmega, it is like i said an additional SSD Drive, the main unit has 500GB and so does the ionmega drive. I have in total 8 usb ports too so real nice. Your love macloggerdx, I usually use windows 7 for most things on my laptop so i had to learn the whole mac system and still only realy use it for macloggerdx but it was well worth it and I love how its constantly updated and has such great support.

[@TheHamshack]

also see my other video which I done just after I got it, you should see it in my video list ok.

[@michaelromanello9462]

+TheHamshack going to watch it now. Thanks
