Maybe others will do it otherwise and perhaps better, it’s all about your own needs and what you can pay for.

First thing first you need electricity and lots of them

I have 1 cable from my main fuse box to the shack, again some friend gave it to me it was a 4x16mm² cable so I am sure I would never have problems with it. Smaller size of cable will also work. It’s all depends what the law in your country allow you to do.

Sockets

Implement as much sockets as you can, even on places you never think off at this time.

You never know what will happen in the future.

I got my sockets secondhand some more won’t break my wallet, I have around 70 or 80 sockets in my shack. (not all are visible.)

Some sockets are specially  implemented for an amplifier in that circuit there is only 1 socket and I'm using 6mm² cable.

TX coaxial cables, RX coaxial cables and control cables.

I'm lucky, at the other side of the shack I am directly in my garden so I made some holes in the wall and put in a PCB pipe.

At that time I made three of them  1 for my TX coax, 1 for my control cables and 1 for my RX coaxial cables.

Internet / network system

In my shack I can always have a different setup if I wanted it.

There are around 10 cable access points to the internet and there is also WIFI.

Maybe in the future I can try an multy multy contest. "we all got some dreams."

RF Ground

For the shack only, I have around 6 grounding (coper) pipes that are 3 meters long and at some distance of each other drilled into the ground. You will see some more info on the noise level page.

I have around 1 Ohm of earth resistance.

Heating

In wintertime you need some heating system perhaps a amplifier will do the trick!

Remember it’s a hobby that we will be sitting most of the time at the transceiver.

I love a nice and warm shack.

Foefelhoekske (Dutch word)

Kind of working space

 Some final words

I build the shack with a small budget, it is still just a hobby.

The main renovations were in the house, so the children could sleep in her own bedroom.

Many things has changed after I bought my house the last part of it all was the shack and building again my antennas.

I love like many of us to have a nice shack but it’s all about your own needs and budget.

A shack that is made of gold will not make a better DX possible and the DX station will never know  the difference  from your signal.
