The main rig is a Yaesu FT-DX101MP which really needs no explanation. It is awesome in all respects, but the firmware, which is getting better.
I use the ICOM IC-7000 on the left mainly for digital modes and VHF operation. The IC-7000 is a great little radio all by itself but I keep it set up this way so I have minimal rewiring and set up when I go South. The IC-7000 is controlled by the great Ham Radio Deluxe suite of programs. You can also see my trusty AEA MM3 Morse Machine over my right shoulder.

Main antenna is a modified 40M EDZ up about 50 feet in the pines. Does a great job on all bands. Open wire line is homebrewed and ~600 ohm impedance.
The shack is in the front of the house which is a run of ~100'. The feed line drops down to the home brewed 1:1 balun and then to the MFJ-926B Remote Tuner.
73, and see you on the bands,

Last but certainly not least is my Ender 5 Pro 3D printer. I've had it for about 4 years now and it has performed flawlessly. I've made a bunch of stuff to use around the house and also for amateur radio. It's especially great for making 1-off stuff that you can't find or would be ridiculously expensive to buy.
I've had the MFJ 926B Remote Tuner for several years now. To be honest, I'm not a big fan. I wanted something that would handle >100W and it was the only thing I could find at the time. I will be looking to replace it.
