Building a HF Amateur Radio Station - Episode 1 - The Plans

This is the first in a series of videos in which I'll be covering all aspects of re-building my station. We'll be building a high performance amateur radio station focused on contesting, experimentation and general operating. In this episode we take a look around at what is in place now from my previous station and some of the changes we'll be making and we talk about what kind of operation I'll be doing, the design goals of the station and what the main equipment will be along with the plans for the station. 0:00 (Intro) 1:00 (VHF Antenna) 1:32 (HF Coax Run) 2:26 (HF Coax Junction Box) 4:11 (Outside Equipment Boxes) 6:35 (Antenna Field) 7:44 (The Shack) 9:40 (The Plans) 11:22 (Design Goals) 12:35 (Shack Equipment) 14:48 (Antennas) Video Links IC-7760 Unboxing - https://youtu.be/Vq5RCVUt0WU Equipment Links ICOM IC-7760 - https://icomuk.co.uk/RC-7760-Remote-Controller/3974/1567/41/ ICOM IC-9700 - https://icomuk.co.uk/IC-9700/Amateur_Radio_Ham_Base_Stations ACOM 2020S - https://www.acom-bg.com/products/amplifiers/acom-2020s-solid-state-18-54-mhz-linear-amplifier 403A Antenna Genius 8x2 - https://4o3a.com/antenna-genius-8x2 DX Commander Nebula Antenna - https://dxcommander.com/product/nebula-18m-antenna-kit-dx-commander/ Diamond X-510 VHF/UHF Antenna - https://www.diamondantenna.net/products/X510 Electro-Voice RE20 - https://products.electrovoice.com/na/en/re20/ LP-700 Digital Station Monitor - http://www.telepostinc.com/LP-500.html Behringer X-AIR XR18 - https://www.behringer.com/product.html?modelCode=0605-AAD
