[CQ-Contest] Shack Lighting Ideas

[Idle-Tyme]

I use of all things  the Christmas lights that are supposed to look like 
frozen icicles when used outside,  they are like 100 tiny lights spread 
out all over.  this provided an amazing amount of light yet is non 
glarey and no shadows either it's like operating outside on a overcast day.
