Latest Shack Improvement.

I have been thinking for a while now to redesign my shack. I have 13 radios, 
1 receiver an ATU and FTL-Meter sitting in front of me.

So a friend of mine (SWL-Jarek) said he would like to make what I wanted.

I wanted 2 shelves but the bottom one needed to be raised so that I can fit in my power supply.

Below is what he made for me, I can tell you it is heavy, made of good quality counter top wood.

He put a back on it so that I cannot see the cables hanging down the back of the unit.

New shack layout.

It Took me several hours, much longer than I anticipated to disconnect everything and reconnect power leads and antennas, I thought I would have it done in two or three hours, but I was surprised that it so long, but then thinking about it later I built up the shack over a few years adding to it as I went along, so dismantling it and rebuilding it was never going to be easy.

Now all I have to do is spend more time in the shack and enjoy the new layout.

So here is what I have…
