Change the connectors on the power supply to accommodate several ring 
type connectors.   Use 1" long   #10 bolts, nuts, flat washers and 
insulating washers which are easy to find at your local hardware store 
and are very easy to use and replace.  Then you can connect 8 to 10 
pieces of equipment to one power supply.

Remember, we are ham radio operators and that is what we've always 
done.   But as I have done, with two stations, I have two power supplies.
