My simple Flex-6600M station at work[/caption]I’ve long wanted some HF capabilities at my work QTH. Now I have a simple station up and running.
Work had donated the use of a 56 ft tower to a now defunct local radio club a few years back, and as part of that club being absorbed by another radio club I personally acquired the associated repeater and the incomplete HF capabilities.
The club had put up a Cushcraft R-7000 40m-10m vertical on top of the tower above the repeater antenna.
I now have it fed with LMR-400, interrupted by a commercial grade lightening suppressor, into a small workshop area I personally have had set aside for many years.
Since I am on a commercial business site, the lightening and grounding provisions are quality, and all the work was done to commercial standards by a communications/automation electrical contractor work uses. Looks pretty impressive for an amateur station.
In the end I needed to supply a power supply, the Flex-6600M, and Rigrunner (4005) for power distribution, power cables and a ground strap.
Here is snapshot of the simple station:
The radio is setup for SmartLink, so I can now access it along with the old home QTH station (while it is still running) giving me some choices.

Nice touch having work gloves in the Pic….
Simulation indicator for the work involved.
Pulling wires through conduit is much better with gloves actually.
