my shack

i started to convert my loft into my shack, i have put some photos on my web site www.freewebs.com/m3zmo i am a bit further on but i need to take more photos.

Well done mate, it's gonna look great once finished!

Now that is indeed going to look something special when it is completed. Keep us informed on the progress, and with all that space think of all the extra goodies you can have in there too

yes simon i would love to fill it with goodies but cath would kill me

just added some more photos, www.freewebs.com/m3zmo lights and sockets in,plaster boards in just need to hand the lining paper,paint and carpet.then i can fit the cupboards and desk.

Well done Andy, it's looking great mate. Well done....

It will be nice once finished and looks a nice big space so sure there will be room for a computer?

How is the shack getting on Andy? Any more news?

I hope all is well and am looking forward to trying to make the contact simplex.

not yet finished, we have all been unwell this week so hopefuly will be done by the week end

Thats an awful lot of work and am sure its going to look excellent. Better than my small corner of the world am sure

all the wall paper is up and painted,skirting boards on and underlay down.carpet going in at the weekend along with the cupboards and desk.all the lights,electrics and coax are in aswell as an earth bond .will post some more photos soon

As it's in the loft, what is your earthing system ? I tried to buy one of the MFJ False earth things a few months ago & was told they are no longer available

i have a 10mm earth cable going from the back of the tuner to a earth spike which is 3ft long .

But how long is the earthing cable ?
Earthing cables act as radiators if they are too long, hence why artificial earths are used above the 1st floor, or where the earthing cable is not possible direct to earth.
Don't forget anything longer than 5 meters is a half wave at 10 meters or above.

its about 8m long and the sppike is next to the house.
