radio shack (shed) working bee 19th/20th June 2020

 finally got to visit the DX farm, since covid locked  everything down.

We were able to get some work done on the remote DX shack.

Added another operating desk and shelving, as it was a bit squashed at one end of the shed  trying to run several radios and laptop and paperwork and very difficult if multiple operators, so we cleared the shed and added the extra desktop at the other end of the shed.  We also hung up some old rugs and pieces of carpet for sound proofing and echo reduction, so the background noise and echoes are greatly reduced now.  The desks and shelves all have a gap at the back to allow cables to drop or rise behind the  desk or shelf. It just needs another bulk head added to run coax cables in at this end of shed.

I also surveyed a couple spots at the site for running WSPR beacons and iGates etc for the times when not operating DX or contesting.
