Overview
Though I am not serious contester, my radio station is set up for SO2R(Single Operator 2 Radio) just for fun.
All amplifiers at the right hand side are placed in the separated room
by window from operating
desk. Therefore, massive heat and fan noise from amplifiers are eliminated from operating position.
And all working situation of amplifiers are
monitored easily through the window while they are used.

Operating Desk
Two IC-765 are used for A and B radio
respectively and Harris pre-selectors which are
just above the transceivers are used instead of band pass filters.
And all these equipments are controlled by
computer program with home made SO2R controller which is placed just
above the LCD monitor. |

Amplifiers
From left to right of this photo, 19" rack in the left of this photo is home made linear
amplifier which use Russian vacuum tube GU-84B. In this rack,
two amplifiers are equipped. One is above the control box and other
one is below the control box. The below one is automatically tuned by band decoder.
Middle of this photo is also home made linear amplifier which use
Russian vacuum tube GU-84B. This amplifier is used for low band only for 40 to 190
meters.

And right of this photo is SGC
InterContinental 1000 1kw solid state automatic linear amplifier. This
amplifier is used for normal QSO like ragchewing
and remote-controlled station over the Internet when I leave my
house for work or business trip. Amplifier on the SGC is home made
one for 15, 10, 6 meter. This amplifier uses two GU-74B.

Cable Entrance
Coaxial cables and rotator control cables come in the shack room
through this bulk head. I installed this bulk head to disconnect all
cables easy form here when a thunderbolt is close. |

5X2 Coaxial relay for SO2R
Coaxial cables from bulk head go to radio A and B
respectively by home made 5x2 remote antenna coaxial relay which are
controlled by home made band decoder for SO2R.
