[Elecraft] K3 / K3S Station setup question

[Mark Stennett]

At my house we have a three car garage. We turned the bay closest to the tower into a 10X15 radio room by filling in the floor with concrete, tiling the floor to match the house and adding a new wall 8 feet inside the roll up door. Add HVAC duct off the whole house system, run a 240 VAC circuit and repurpose the existing 110 VAC circuits and we are good to go. The remaining 8 foot space becomes storage with access from the original roll up door.

Finding a properly designed/configured house is almost as difficult as just finding a house in a neighborhood that doesn't discriminate against ham radio all together!  The bottom line is that I've yet to get to the point where I could concentrate on efficient "configuration".  I'm still looking for available space!!!!  Oh, and I shou
