This is the first hamfest I have been to. Just like a gun show, just a different product to look at. I went looking for coax and connectors. I ended up at "The Wireman". They had the best products and the best price. The "Wire Lady" really know the product.
 Ended up buying 150' of CQ Super 8, Amphenol UHF connectors, and grounding strap. Now I need a set of desk plans for my station. Anyone know where I can find some plans?

A computer desk will work pretty well. That's what I'm using now. I would eventually like to build a custom bench. How much room do you have to work with?

a set of the 2 drawer file cabinets and a hollow core door also make a nice desk. it even gives you a nice little hole to run the cables through. its what i use for a computer desk.

I could move some items around to give me 8 feet. Your station is like what I have in mind. |

I have thought about this too. I would need to make some shelf's for the power supplies and to mount the 2 meter radio. |

I was hoping to make it this year. I've been trying to make Shelby for the past 3 years and can't seem to make it up there. Last year i was hiking the AT so that was a good reason.
