The Clutter Free Shack

Greetings
After Some considerable consideration I decided that I needed to trim the shack a little and get rid of some surplus equipment . well now that I have this is the result















As you can see I moved the icom IC-756proIII up to it's own shelf along with psu & extension speaker and a nice little gemstone globe I got from Whitby.
The Desk is a little more uncluttered and I moved the main computer over to where the Icom resided, it's more accessible and with the new illuminated keyboard I can see what I am typing















There are some new acquisitions,one of them is this nice icom IC-7000
The Adonis AM -708E Desk Top Microphone ,was purchased at the Leicester Radio Ham Rally
and seems to compliment the rig quite nicely .and is capable of being connected to two radio's .














Along with this little beauty a trio TM-201A which will serve as my new Echolink radio














This is me in the shack . Tidy isn't it, Well it was when this photo was taken anyway ... and I failed to use the red eye reduction on the camera so I resorted to a red eye removal program and it puts a watermark on as its unregistered , but it DID do the job so I left it in .
Saves a lot of faffing about with the camera again ...















AND Now a little vignette about the Leicester rally Enjoy
