Back on the air...sort of

Got a Dipole up at the new place and a radio connected but that's about it. It's a lot quieter here in the country and I'm really looking forward to getting the tower back up. Hopefully it will be going up in the early spring before the rains start. I never realized how many cables and connections I had made over the years. Starting with an empty room is a real challenge. So far just getting the first coax line into the shack has been a lot of work. I didn't want to run it in the window so it took more effort to run it into the house and get it into the shack but I think it will be worth it in the end.The only problem with a finished basement is trying to run cables with all the walls and ceiling finished, what a pain!!

I've mounted Panduit around the wall and am bringing the cable into the closet. That will be the equipment closet now. I'm planning on putting the power supplies in there also and control them with a switch on the wall. The computers will eventually go in there also that should get some of the noise and extra heat out of the room.
