Twice the fun!
Looking good there Mike and nicely set up. (I still haven't sorted my VHF setup but pondering beams. )
Thanks for sharing your setup.

I'm looking at a new beam as well, the Create logperiodic has gone high swr on 2metres. 9700 does not like it and reduces power quite a bit.
Looking at one of the Dual beams, one with one connector for 2 and 70. I don't really want to run another 30metre coax up from the shack. Although I will need to as I will need a beam for 4metres as well next year.

You cannot see the untidy bit, it's a small space and I can barely move in it.

All takes a bit of planning Mike.
(I'm still at the 'all planning' stage and haven't got much done yet! )
Still trying to keep the mess my shack has become with all the interesting activities Ham radios presents us with.
Like Alan I thought drawers might help but with four units comprising a total of fourteen drawers I've still hardly made a dent. At least it's not all open shelving units now and the wife dares to venture in.

Twenty minutes and a few drawers you'll be sorted Alan mate.
I've still got to figure out where to put nearly two hundred electronic component storage drawers (plus overflow) let alone all the guitar stuff!
The missus says I have too many hobbies??? (I won't discuss the other brick workshop and metal shed - a man needs somewhere to cut a piece of wood or metal let alone drill holes and store the tools and materials required for such! )
