Some Pictures of SolderSmoke Shack South


That's me at the operating position.   Window looks out to the terrace and to the ocean to the East, the  Mona channel.  The shack is on the top (seventh) floor. 


Here is the view from the terrace, looking South.  The big terrain feature is Cabo San Rafael. 


From the terrace looking North. 


Looking East into the morning sun 


From the terrace looking West. 


Antennas will go up there.  Perhaps solar panels too.  


A bog portion of the shack is a workbench with tools and test gear.  


Yesterday an old friend from Santo Domingo, Luis Ernesto HI8LEZ stopped by.  Thirty years ago we were pioneers in the use of amateur radio satellites from the Dominican Republic.  Luis Ernesto is in the book!

  2. I agree with Rogier. The shack needs decorating with splatters of flung solder and dents in the walls from flung rigs that won't cooperate. Maybe some spots of spilled coil dope on the floor.

  3. Good points. Bill, glad to see you are taking pictures of "before", so that as time goes by, take some "after" pics. Enjoy!

  4. Plus a few hundred 1605 SMD resistors that have pinged away from the backing when trying to handle them. Add to that some ball-bearings from various assemblies you have tried to fix and the odd grub screw from a pontentiometer. Don't for get a big box of scrap bits AKA junk box just waiting for a project.
    Looks great Bill.
    You are setting yourself up for a lot of visitors.
    Do you have a spare room?
