Very nice and neat. I really like the MST3K mug though!

Using a random wire can invite RF problems all over the place unless you're well grounded, or using a good network of radials (or sometimes both). How are you keeping RF out of the shack? Curious....

Two ways.

I have the rig and tuner grounded to the electrical service ground rod.

I am using a choke balun - BUILD AN AIR WOUND 1:1 CHOKE BALUN FOR HF - THE UGLY BALUN!

Thanks.

I built a frame with 1" X 1/4" wood (From Home Depot, I believe it is used to trim wood screen doors) and then bent and held it in place with monofilment fishing line. The map is glued to the frame with rubber cement.

Thanks for the great idea! I have a large kenwood map that size I could do this with.
