Above is the station of Drew, KB2SEO, now a good 'ol boy fromn Georgia, but still and OMARC member in good standing and a frequent visitor to the Jersey Shore having been a lifelong resident of Point Pleasant.
I do not know about Easy Street, but as you can see below, Drew lives on KB2SEO Street !
Below are some photo's of Drew's Yaesu FT-100 based HF mobile installation.
Here is Ron, WA2HZT in his shack located in Howell, N.J., Ron is active on 40/20/15/10 meters on CW mostly, although he resorts to Phone on occassion. His station consists of a classic Kenwood TS-820S with VFO-820 and his antennas are a 3 element Wilson tribander and a 40 meter dipole.
This is a shot of ARS KB2OPQ located in Ocean, N.J., Rich is active from his well designed station on all bands from 160 to 70cm most modes, including digital and FSATV on 70cm. Rich uses an FT-990 and FT-736R as his main station with an FL-2100 for QRO.
Here are some shots of the KB2OPQ mobile. Rich uses an Icom IC-726 with Outbacker antenna for 80-10 and 6 meter operation from his Pathfinder.

Here is the station of W2YR, John Gagen on the coast of New Jersey in Avon-By-The-Sea. As you can see John has an up to date station consisting of an FT-1000D and FT-736R with a heil microphone suspended from above on a boom and my personal favorite the AEA-MM3 electronic keyer.
Johns choice of QRO power is the Alpha 87A and fact his station location is so close to the ocean that the streets flood when we have a light drizzle or when the tide is in seems to help him be heard.
Here we have a shot of John outside with his tower, no he is not holding from falling, although with some of the North Easters we get here in New Jersey, I imagine he's done that in the past.

Above is Steve, N2CKH at his main operating position.
The N2CKH main HF CW/SSB operating position consists of a pair of trusty Kenwood TS-930S radios and a Heath SB220. Also in the station is a Kenwood TS-450/AT with an AL-811 which gets the bulk of the daily workout. Also in the station is a Yaesu FT-890/AT that is the main RTTY and PSK31 station. For 6m, 2m, 220 and 432 the station is a Yaesu FT-736R with a TE-Systems brick 150w amplifier for each band. In addition Steve still maintains his old Novice station consisting of an old Kenwood TS-520SE system with all accessories. All radios have optional CW and SSB filters and are all tied to a switching matrix for radio selection to an AEA MM-3 CW keyer. A 2nd MM-3 and extra Bencher paddles are available for backup and quest operators as required.
Above is a photo of the Cushcraft A4S with 40m add-on kit and A50-5 above mounted on an Oak tree in the backyard. The system consists of an IIX pole mount and tailtwister rotor to turn the 2 inch OD 3/8 inch wall T6061 aluminum mast. For details of this unique installation visit his home page listed below.
When not at home Steve operates HF/6m mobile from his Ford Bronco using an FT-847 and W6MMA MP-1 antenna system. Steve can be found on the OMARC 2m repeater and his 6m repeater on 53.43.
