The Shack
The shack is my little hidy-hole in the house. Once a shed in our single story extension, its now my little refuge from two kids, my wife and the dog.
Its for playing radio and electronics, but I could do with a little more space. Its only 2 meters by 1 meter by 2 meters tall. Keeps everyone else out though, since only I can fit in!
The current radio equipment in the shack at the moment is as follows:
Homebrew 11-16VDC 36A Power Supply

Right onto a few pictures of the shack.
This first one shows the two shelves with equipment (there are another two shelves with components, books etc above the test equipment). The monitor is on a swing arm to allow better viewing when required.
Simple view of the radio rack.
