Some comments:
1) It is quite unusual to find such a neat space. Is this normal?
2) Too many radios, no tube sets at all.
3) Thermostat is over R-7...as it heats up, it will turn off heat to rest of
house
4) Why arent't there lots of wires all overr the place. You DO DX don't you?
The rest of us have antennawires all over the place.
5)coffee cup is empty; no spills; no scribbles on your note pad..
This IS a DX den, isn't it? What about beer cans? None shown.

Seriously, nice looking setup.

Now get some QSLs for the wall.

1. Usually that clean!
2. Not nearly enough radio's!
3. R7 is powered by a seperate supply.
4. Wires? Who needs wires?
5. Coffee cup and notepad were to spruce the pic up!
6. No beer, I gave up drinking.
7. Have way to many certificates and QSL's, though I will get some on the wall.
I just bought this place a year ago yesterday, and I'm still decorating.

Come to think of it I'll have to take another pic. I just remembered I have a 6-pak
of beer in the fridge in case I get visitor's!

Yes, Wires are important;
& so is Duct tape holding it all together .

Other things missing:

- reference books? You must have one heck of a memory.

- computer? for recording, logging, or telling your buds ( US ! ) what's good
and where.

- what kind of comfy chair you park in.

Seriously, no wires? Right now, I've got a pile of CD's on the left,
newspapers piled on on top of an ongoing preselector project, my water bottle
precariously perched on the edge of the desk, a jumble of audio patch cables
running from the radio, through the speaker, to the PC, and to another tape
deck, all looped around each other. Piles of blank cassettes perched ontop of
my audio amp ( big speaker), and I'm sitting with my feet perched the other
corner.

Ahhhh .... home.

- Reference books are to the right in a bookcase.

- Computer is on another table about 12 feet away!
I don't really keep a log. There's also a tape recorder in the
pic too, hooked up to the R8. Soon to be another hooked up
to the R7. That will go next to the speaker under the R7.

- If you'd like a pic of the comfy chair I'll put one up.

- There are a few wires showing, guess ya gotta look for em.
