These photos are a reflection of the progress being made with the new radio room (Shack).
Little history, this originally was a 1 stall attached garage, which we have converted into a
16 x 24 foor Radio Room. All work is being completed by my wife and I.
Once it is complete, it will not only funciton as the new Shack, but also a complete 5
station contest operation with room for meetings and training classes as well.
Hope you enjoy the photos. Click on any photo for a closer look. 73 - K0RU - Rob

Garage door removed and new window installed. Readu for siding.

New walk-in Entrance door installed, ready for siding.

New window installed on back side of garage, ready for siding.

Inside view of New Walk in door, New window in front and part of raised floor completed. The floor was raised 10 inches to match the rest of the house levels.

View of the entrance into main portion of the house, notice the 10 inch raised flooring which allowed for plenty of room to run cables, wiring etc. The new dedicated 100 Amp Electrical Service installed and ready to be wired to the outlets. Each station will have a Quad-Receptical wired to a dedicated 20 Amp Circuit Breaker. 5 dedicated 30 Amp 240 VAC outlets have been installed to allow for up to 5 each Full Legal Limit Amplifiers to be operating simultaneously.

The drywall process has begun. Here you can see the rooms A/C and Heat Pump unit. This allows me to keep the room at a controlled temperature seperate from the rest of the house.

That's me (Rob) spraying the textured finish onto the ceiling and walls. This is my XYL (wife) Julie, she does all the detailed work on the mudding and taping. This is a team project.

Construction of the radio desk. The desk is an L-Shape and will provide room for 5 complete stations once completed. Here is a view of the frame work for one station, the cut out in the top is to allow for a TILTING plateform which the radios will set on that will tilt the face of the radios upward to the operator for an easy viewing angle.

Here the main operating position is completed for Station #1. Here you can see the 120V receptical and J-Box for the CAT5 network wiring which will be located at each of the operating positions.

Showing the tilting angle of the desktop where the radio's will sit. Station #1 complete, showing the tilting angle and view of the front of the radio's. This keeps the monitors at a low position helping reduce the tilting of the head during operation.

View of some of the rest of the room. This is me at Station #1 operating position and you can now see how everything is layed out.
