This was my operating desk in Omaha. A friend of mine built it for me and did an excellent job.

The radios at the desk level are on a tilted shelf so it was easier to see the dials and labels.
 

This was the "computer corner" of the operating desk with my first Heathkit H-89 all-in-one computer. Just imagine - 8 bit processor, 16KB of memory, 320KB floppy drive. How life has changed.  

Yep, that would be me at the operating desk. About 25 years younger, but still the same guy only with a LOT less gray hair.  In the midst of all the Heathkit gear (which I built) is my pride and joy at the time, a brand-new out-of-the-box Kenwood TS-820S. What a radio at the time.

Another thing that had to be left behind when we moved was this equipment rack. In the center of it you will see a large Collins R-390.  Some of the other stuff includes an old style TNC for radio-teletype and yes, that is a teletype machine sitting in the foreground.

And, yes, I did use the teletype machine. Back in those days there wasn't any computer software available, until my friend Dick (KØDG) wrote one for the H-89.

Lots of rolls of paper, tape and oil kept it all going. And you know what, it was fun.
