Our Shack
Our shack is just inside the entrance lobby and away from the main meeting room. This gives operators a chance of some peace and quiet whilst on air, providing other members remember to have their chats elsewhere! Our equipment is in a secure double width cupboard, and when the aerials in the loft have been installed they will be permanently connected. It will then simply be a case opening up and plugging in.
Unfortunately the nearest mains point is on the other side of the lobby, but we are investigating taking a power lead down from the loft, which will also be used to store bulky gear.
The ICOM 760 is the "installed" radio
together with its matching ATU and power supply all held in a cradle which was expertly constructed by member Peter G4ENC, the idea being to make it all easily portable as a complete station.We decided to keep an old 2m FDK, its 70cm converter, and an HF transverter as back-up. After all, we probably wouldn't get all that much for them these days, and it's always good to have something on standby.
We have built up a collection of tools and test equipment, and also have a library of technical and reference books.
