The tower is in a 100 foot by 100 foot clearing in the woods.

Here's the station before I got the TS-950S: A Kenwood TS-940 and an Alpha 374 amplifier (3 8874's).
You can also see my old Drake C-Line being used as a backup.

Does something seem missing from these last two pictures? No PC/monitor/keyboard/mouse...
(and how about that relic in the last picture, a paper log!). Were these the good old days?

Speaking of the good old days, what was your first computer, a 486?, an Altair? Well here's my first computer, an IBM 7094.

Here I am playing with my second computer, a Univac 1108.
