The K3WA ham shack is a complete single operator two radio (SO2R) ham shack. 

The station is pretty much all-together now, but, along with my  antenna farm, continues to evolve.  With the shack working pretty well my next step is to simplify operations and equipment.  I reduced the number of radios from 3 to 2 by replacing my old FT-1000 MK V and FT-450 with an Elecraft K3.  That went a long ways in simplifying operations and control complexity.

My two radios are (1) Elecraft K3 with an Alpha 87a amplifier  and (2) a Ten-Tec Orion II with a second Alpha 87a amplifier.  I use a Tokyo High Power HL-1.5KFX for 6 meters and as a back-up HF amplifier.

  It takes a lot of other stuff to make a SO2R station   operate, control equipment, filters. etc.  I'm still trying to get all the controls within easy-reach position to help in contesting.
