Your shack reminds me of certain official full-time government radio monitoring stations from the 1990s. The IC R9000 was prominent back then, but has since been replaced by the R9500, and R8600. The wideband log-periodic antennas used were long and high! Geographic location is the most important factor for DX signal reception, antenna second, RX third. Not sure if MW DX also covered at your QTH.
Congratulations Eric on an awesome SWL station!!! It shows some real dedication to radio, not to mention the time, effort & knowledge required to put something like that together. I wonder if you have ever been tempted to study for an amateur radio licence? I suppose though with all that spectrum to listen to, I doubt you would have time HI! I hope to appear in your log sometime soon, if not already :) Best 73, Mark G0VOF
Mooie filmpje ,al hoe wel ik de disco sound niet passend vond op de achtergrond .Verder mooie toestellen ,heb de meeste hier al op qth gehad .Werk nu met een Perseus SDR neusje van de zalm 73, Maurits
Nice set up there some quality gear you have thanks for sharing it with us. Here's a link to my station Amateur radio/cb shack ham shack 2e0ijk 73's de Dave 2E0IJK West Yorkshire England
Incredible radio shack! An inspiration! My only radio is an Icom 756 Pro3, which I use for SWLing with a GAP Titan vertical. I was thinking of buying a new Alinco DX-R8, just to have a second radio. How would it compare to the Pro3 for SWLing? Thank you.
This is fantastic.... I even don't even see such a fabulous shack even in my dreams... I guess I'm gonna dream this now on...lol Thanx for sharing... FB OM
@nl6777 Klopt! Honderden ambassades, persbureaus, Interpoldiensten, amateurs en nog veel meer op ontvangen. Veel met QSL bevestigd, prachte collectie brieven en kaarten aan overgehouden. Die Wavecom W4010 was een mooie opvolger.
I read books from the 20s and 30s and 40s of how hams use to design and build and modify radio apparatus., The shack is impressive amount of radios could be an FCC listening post ? however hams tend to go to commercial equipment these days. I would suggest to the ham and shortwave community to get back to the building and experimenting . I am more impressed to see a humble home built station by a lowly ham who made 100 countries on home brew... For the video nice lot of commercial equipment though. best regards ham radio ve4akf
Technically speaking this isn't a ham shack. Ham refers to amateur radio. If you are just a short wave listener, then it isn't amateur radio. I guess you could call this a Short Wave Listening shack. People who aren't into radio don't understand the need/desire for having tons of radios. Let me see if I can explain why someone would have so many radios. Different radios perform different functions. These days you can get "do it all" radios that cover a bunch of bands. But it's nice to have separate radios. From an amateur radio stand point you are likely to have multiple antennas. So having multiple radios eliminates the hassle of having to switch antennas every time you want to operate on a different band. Also, if you have multiple radios you can monitor multiple frequencies at the same time. Multiple radios also give you backup radios in case something goes wrong with one of them. There is also the collector aspect. Sometimes you pick up a radio just because it's cool. I have multiple radios and plan on getting more. Here is what's on my desk right now (not counting hand held); Radio Shack HTX-10 10 meter, Radio Shack TRC-503 CB, Alinco DR-130 2 meter, ICOM IC-730 HF, and ICOM IC-735 HF. I have a Yaesu FT-817 that needs repair. Otherwise that would be on my desk. I also have an old radio shack base scanner that isn't on my desk at the moment. So yea it's not unusual for radio geeks to have several radios.
+purplemutantas I think it's great. Ran across your tour while seeing how my own podcast did on search results. I totally get it. And while I will never have as much equipment as you, I'm pretty sure I wish I did :) Be well and 73!!
I’m confused watching this video... Very impressive shack, but why don’t you get a ham radio license so you can put your voice on the air? I’m sure you could be an asset on the HF bands. With SWL, you could have the same results with one radio and one antenna. My ham shack fits into a backpack and I talk to stations across the globe while experimenting with many different modes. I also SWL with the same gear.
I'm a noob, but I didn't see any transmitters or transceivers. All those standalone receivers are probably considered antiques in the era of software defined radios.
+Bandana zX no way. the standalone receivers can tune far better to specific frequency ranges than any digital radio, and they'll often be better at picking up SSB/USB/LSB.
rickster348 One listens only. The other one talks, builds antennas and radios from zero and can help in emergencies and disasters as they are licensed.
Obsolete soon due to all node digital receivers out now like the new air that decodes 18 digital types w analog wideband receivers plus the new Icom about to hit. Its 2017 and all these Radios will need to be switched out to be able to keep up w things..73s
You do not copy CW QSO? Morse Code is an important part of amateur radio. I have a friend who is also SWL and copy CW. He has received many QSL communicated with CW.
I bet this guy has no life! No wife and kids and unemployed. I saw on a comment that this guy passed away. Think about all the radios he has hoarded over the years. I bet there is someone else living at his place and all of his radios belong to other people now! That is the HARD TRUTH that smacks you across your face!
@stewartx5 WOW!! you really schooled him. I bet he didn`t know that? Why dis on the guy he seems to know what he wants to do and has done a super job at it. He probally titled it Ham radio to improve serch results. Now get back to your two meter repeter "GEEK!"
I think Eric dont want to talk on the bands, probably he simply enjoy it the most to listen. Some ppl are maybe more reserved in that case. But his taste in music is horrible lol.
Never seen such a fantastic radio shack - congrats!!!!! Very fine!!!
very very impressive... probably one of the neatest setup's in the world...good job om....
maar het is een van de mooiste radio shacks dat ik gezien heb ! wouww

I have seen some shacks in my time but this one beats all. well done.
How much does your station consume when all equipment is powered on? Impressive peace of collection.
Cool to see all them various EKD radios in there too Eric ..
Hi Eric, thank you for the tour of your HAM shack - great setup, I envy it, Be safe, Ciao, L (USA)
Mooie spullen, Met name de EKD lijn. En de opbouw van de shack verdiend een compliment.

Dank voor de rondleiding in uw shack Eric! Prachtapparatuur, mooi en zo te zien praktisch opgesteld. 73s de ON4AEM
You are a looney!

Very good, congratulations shack, like the IC R9000, I have a IC 781 and are very similar. 73 listens and good!
that's awesome. love it. must have cost a fortune over the years. happy listening.
Impressive rig you have there! Congratulations!
Ook nog een Telereader en een Tono Theta 350..! Dat was nog eens RTTY ontvangen. Leuk!
Congratulations Eric on an awesome SWL station!!!

Hi Eric I see you have a AOR 5000A very fine radio
But Iam suprised you dont have a 7030
IMHO one of the finest HF receivers ever made
If they ever to a ham hoarders series, I'm sure that you will be in it.
I bet you can listen to everything everywhere!
Incredible shack! Do you think the 756 Pro3 is a good SWL rig?
Thanks for the share. Ham shack is incredible. 73's KB7ZJF
A crazy what are you up for great radio in your shack, did just great!

The 756 pro 3 is a very good SWL rig !

Question how come he will not go and get his Ham radio ticket?
I read books from the 20s and 30s and 40s of how hams use to design and build and modify radio apparatus., The shack is impressive amount of radios could be an FCC listening post ? however hams tend to go to commercial equipment these days. I would suggest to the ham and shortwave community to get back to the building and experimenting .

In your next video you show us the antennas? Your "Antenna Area" must be so great as a football field, hi.....
Wow what can I say, awseome and so neat, well done its fantastic, Daryn 2E0 DKD

I dont get it. How many radios do you need? I mean do you do it for a living? Are you a collector?
See the comment I just posted for an explanation of why someone would have so many radios.
- what's the difference between a Ham and a regular shortwave?, (thanks)
rickster348 One listens only. The other one talks, builds antennas and radios from zero and can help in emergencies and disasters as they are licensed.
- I see, Thank You.
Wow!!! is this the toy store? Congrats!!! 73
why do all ham operators have lots of radios we can only use one at a time
@Rob260259 Klopt tono heb ik hier nog steeds koste toen 1200 gulden. Maar dan heb je ook wat hi dat waren nog eens mooie tijden.

Please edit out the first 1:16 Good God i almost fell asleep

@@samlohuis1228 SO sorry to hear this Sam, I was corresponding with him a few years ago. Do you know what happened to his collection of radios?
All this equipment to listen to The Buzzer? Wow.
daar ben ik jaloers op!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You do not copy CW QSO? Morse Code is an important part of amateur radio. I have a friend who is also SWL and copy CW. He has received many QSL communicated with CW.
wat is het liedje aan het begin van de video?
I bet this guy has no life! No wife and kids and unemployed. I saw on a comment that this guy passed away. Think about all the radios he has hoarded over the years.
