New Shack

[WisconsinRailfan]

I monitor/listen to just about everything, feel free to ask any questions about the setup. I still have some work to do, I need to get the antenna's setup. I have a Ham Stick Dipole in the back yard, and "mag mount" scanner antenna in the shack. Plans are to put some antenna's in the attic, till I can afford to erect a tower. I finally have a house without any HOA's or CCR, I have already talked to the city to find out what permits are needed.

Pretty clean actually.

Nice layout without wires running all over the place.

Not bad at all.

Very Nice

Great setup, with the perfect desk with spots for radios.
I like big wrap around desks for lots of space.

Looks very good.

Love the desk. Wish I had the room for something along those lines.

Those are "WOOT-OFF" lights from woot.com, there were in the famous bag of crud, that they offer during woot-offs. I also have a set of red and blue ones, that sit next to my scanner laptop.

Thank for the kind words, I will post some close-ups soon. I need to hide a few more of the wires, and I am adding another monitor.

Updated Pictures

Hopefully, these are a little better. Added another monitor, that I got at a garage sale for $20.

For some reason it's had to take a good picture in that room, maybe it's the lighting.

They are both Nikons the first set was taken with a D60 DSLR, and the second set was taken with a Coolpix s4000 point and shoot

That is correct it's ATCS, there is a gentleman here in Columbus, Ohio that streams the data. There is a Yahoo group you can join to get the software, and more information.

Nice setup, I like the Woot-off lights I've got a few sets myself, as well as a flying screaming monkey in the trunk of my car ("trunk monkey" lol). Also I'm totally jealous of the $20 monitor; I've been searching yard sales for weeks looking for a cheap LCD so I can run dual monitors in the shack...
