Tom, you are quite the engineer! As an electrical engineer myself, I love 'unnecessary switches and lights' all very neatly installed and displayed. Produzieren Sie weiterhin Videos. Viele HAMs werden sehr daran interessiert sein, was Sie erstellen und teilen. Grüße aus Kalifornien 😀73 KJ6ER
Understood. The centerpiece of my ham shack is my soldering station. My HF transceiver is a (tr)uSDX, so it's a little hard to find on my shack bench. I'm hoping to get an orange-colored 3D printed case made for it so it's easier to spot, if I ever decide to put it in a case. I keep experimenting with different toroids in the Class E tuning circuit in order to get another couple of percent efficiency out of it. 20 meters is up to 89% efficiency now from about 72% when I first built it. I'm considering trying a Litz wire wind next. I look at a beautiful shack like this and sigh, but I know that if I had one I'd never use it. I don't ragchew much. I prefer to build and experiment. About the only time I actually get on the air is when I'm testing something I've built or modified, or want to see the results of an experiment. :)
VERY NEAT, "SANITARY" layout! 🙂 (My shack's "decor" would be best described as "Early Disaster Area" 😄). I'm intrigued by the perforated metal used used to enclose everything; it looks fantastic, allows the equipment to stay cool, & may provide some RF shielding as well. I'm contemplating a major re-layout of my own shack, you've given me a few ideas! 😉 73, Tom WA1LBK
Thank you, Tom! I have used perforated steel sheets (100cm x 50cm) mounted on a wooden cage. However, I would recommend to use aluminium sheets instead as steel is very hard to cut. Aluminium is stable enough for the purpose and much easier to work with. Good luck with your own project!
Lovely shack 😍 I will try to make one of your boxes. Getting me a new pelican case let’s see how it will turn out I will used my Yaesu 891. Thanks for the Idea kq4qhu 73!!
This is the best looking shack i ve ever seen Tom!!! I really like your love for the details. As example the arena and övsv shield. Can you Tell me where i can get the funkuhr. Best 73 oe3sze Nik, the 80 meter net guy
New to your videos I loved the three go boxes you had for your various equipment I did have a question on the very first one that contains the g90 you had two antennas screwed into the box one on the right I was curious as to what brand and model that is and assuming it is VHF UHF would appreciate your thoughts and love your home station it's absolutely awesome good job.
so fantastic shack!!! love the design you adopted and how you build it, can I ask if vicrotn make noise on hf band? maybe i was unlucky because mine (i've try in my car, at home in the garden and portable) was a spurious generator on all 0-30 band ... 73 de IZ3QVB
I started off with a rather cheap solar charger and transformer from Offgridtec and also had terrible noise on HF. However, I only have the best experience with the Victron components which are not causing any troubles for me on HF. 73
Hi Tom, it is a wooden cage covered by perforated stainless steel sheets. The heavier devices rest on wooden supports, the lighter ones are mounted by steel angels. The backside is open and the desk sits on wheels which allows me easy access to the inside. 73
I haven't noticed any problems with the Victron products. I had cheaper solar chargers before wich caused massive problems but the Victron chargers seem very quiet.

Again, thank you Greg for the compliments. Hope to make a contact via the non-internet ham paths!
Australia 🇦🇺 is 🇦🇺 watching 🇦🇺 Awesome setup looks cool.
This setup is beautiful!
I love the whole thing…..but I can assure you I will now be adding switches! Switches that activate switches! Absolutely inspired!
Exactly, switches and control lights - you can't have enough of those 🤣
Keine Ahnung wie ich plötzlich auf deinem Video gelandet bin. :))))) Aber...Wowww....perfekt gemacht. Wunderschönes shack....viel Spass und 73..
Very nice man from my own heart. Given me some ideas on the shack update. 73 Richard 😅
Amazing and neat! Love the switches and lights. Good onya mate!
That's a vert well laid out and organized shack you have there. It would be interesting to see you outdoor antenna setups.
Nice shack. Waving from my tech bench👋🏻

Ive nothimg to say. Thats a super shack!

Very impressive. Good job.
This is the room to be, when skynet takes over!
Danke für das tolle Video.73,de Jozef,OE1CJG.😊😊😊

super nice
Love it!!
Very Nice! Beautiful work. Thanks for sharing. - kc2bkm
Excellent shack! Now, can you show it in landscape view? :-)

Thanks, Nik! Search for "DELITE Altitude Schiffsuhr" on Amazon. There is only one model which includes the 3min radio silence marker. vy73
Very neat shack. 73s
sieht super aus
Danke!
Very nice.

Hi Greg, the antenna you are refering to is called CBC-435 (produced by different manufacturers). Works nicely and is very compact.
wow ! this is epic .
Thank you, I'm glad you like it 😀
Danke vielmals! vy 73

Very nice room setup! I am curious about the hardware housing surrounding the radios etc...what material are you using for that?

How is your Victron system with RFI? Did you need to add additional chokes/filters?
