    I totally stripped my shack last October and rebuilt it. Mine is a but simpler than yours as its outside in my shed but just having it the way I want it without excess redundant wires has made things so much more manageable.

      Yep, I know the feeling.
      I previously had all the kit on a desk, which meant not much desk space & wires everywhere.
      This time I've put all of the radio gear into a rack on wheels.
      Seems to be working out great for me so far.

      I like the fact that it works with virtually any radio with CAT control, so it's easy to switch out the radio of I need to.

      Hi Brian. That's the great thing about this hobby. You can have a simple QRP station with a modest antenna setup, or you can go totally overkill with amplifiers, big antennas & all sorts of accessories. It's a personal preference.
      Me personally, I really enjoy keeping it simple & running QRP in the field, but I also enjoy running QRO from the home station........I think I get the best of both worlds.

    No need for antenna switching as I married and only allowed one😂but I I was allowed another this is a really nice way to go.

      My house my rules!
      It's a simple choice of antenna or front door. So far, my partner has always chosen the antenna!!!
