Looks a darn sight tidier than my setup Les.
Damn radios seem to breed like rabbits as well, you start off with one and before you know it there's several squeezing for space on your desk!
Thanks for sharing, always a joy to see other peoples setups.

I know what you mean Les, I've done my best with homemade shelving on the desk to keep the inevitable tangle of wires out of the way.
Do miss a shiny front on a good radio, seems since moving to the 'dark-side' with my Ham ticket all my radios have Darth Vader black fronts or dark grey at best!

I have just re-roofed my shed that has now become the shack and my idea is, more computers, monitors and radios equals a warmer winter in the shed. Also just passed the foundation level so two new additions before Christmas I hope
