No, I didn't always work like this.  I was taking a coffee break here!  My own call sign was DA2QC.

 

Rig here:  Collins S-Line with 30S1, 2x Collins KWM-2, Raytrack DX-2000L amplifier.

 

Antennas here:

40m:  Dipole and 2-el. wire beam, 75 ft. high, pointed stateside

 

20m:  HyGAIN 204-BA 4-el. beam, 75 ft. high

The coffee was government issued, and I think it's what caused all my hair to fall out, soon after leaving the army.
