[Elecraft] Station setup

[Al Gulseth]

I want to see some pics of this when it's finished.

Ever thought of going into the furniture manufacturing business? (Anyone else 
here remember the Design Industries "furniture-styled communications console" 
and "'wife-approved' communications desk" from back in the 1960s?)
