Smallest Shack?
A contributor asks, "Lots of people like to boast about how large their ham shacks are but how about a friendly competition to find out who operates from the smallest shack? (HT only excluded.) My shack is 69" x 61" (that's roughly 1.75 m x 1.50 m), about as large as a coat closet, and that includes all my radio equipment (Icom IC-736, Icom IC- 2200H, Icom R-75, 13.8 VDC power supply, computer, monitor, miscellaneous test and monitoring equipment) and my project development workbench. Anyone want to challenge that?"
