Finally bought a decent power supply (from a Circuit City store that was closing) and finished this setup in the laundry/closet/back-entrance room. The three ham radios were previously running, not very well, off an old computer power supply. The radio on the wall is a Radio Shack FRS/GMRS desktop I found on clearance one time. The two handhelds on the windowsill are scanners. My primary and best scanner is not shown, since it is connected to the desktop in the living room for offsite access over the interwebs.

This is the GE Healthcare “Typhoon 9400″ scanner used to scan fluorescent gels. It’s a huge beast but it doesn’t make a lot of noise (well, I don’t want to stay the whole day next to it!). And this unit only has the red and green scanners inside. There is a second (smaller) unit below with only a blue laser source in it! You can see two gels ready to be scanned (the upper door has to be closed before!).

Vintage Fortified Bunker..

Vintage kwansit hut bunker with sandbag fortification.

Mather AFB outer grounds (Abandoned)

This unit, (if not already), is likely to come down, as the county extends a major road, right next to the Bunker.

Inside this bunker, appears to have once been an Air Force radio repair shop. The ultimate reason for being buried, could have been for shield out spurious RF emission, (Radio Noise) for a better instrument calibration environment.

This would make a great lowband Ham Shack!! 😉
