    Hello Dan. Great video and enjoyed the tour of your shack. A true shack for the hobby. I have something very much like it in the back yard but sets on legs 5 ft off the ground. I havent moved the equipment out to it yet. Maybe one day. For now it is my grandsons fort. Look me up on QRZ. Im KE5URE. Any plans to do more videos? 73’s to you Dan. Bill

    Yes, actually I did more already. Search youtube for “night rider ham” . Do you have a video of your setup, Bill?

    I had my shack set up in my metal pole barn but when it rains the noise from the rain on the roof is deafening! I have a 12X20 chicken coop type shed out back with a good shingled roof. I t has a cement floor. I was thinking about putting a raised wooden floor in there & 100 amp service with 220 v. I like to hoard (cheap) botanchors.
