[Elecraft] K3 / K3S Station setup question

[Jim Lowman]

It seems like my shack is in a constant state of reconfiguration.
Then I had to complicate things by buying a K3S and a Flex-6700 at the 
Huntsville Hamfest.

My initial plan was to build a "horseshoe" configuration; much like the 
computer room at a former office.
Over time the XYL, who was a Geology/Earth Science professor, covered 
three of the four walls with six-foot-tall bookcases.
Now that she has passed, I have the task of selling/donating all of her 
book collection.
Eventually I will be able to reclaim the space and have the 
configuration that I wanted in the first place.

There is no option to build vertically from the operating desk, as that 
would block the view from the only window in the room.
