[UK-CONTEST] shack design

[Ian Fugler G4IIY]

I had an office built in the garden built last year.  I used trunking for 
80+ power sockets and a series of coaxial and data cables.  (The data cables 
are only for printers, as I use wireless network for everything else.)  Last 
year, we did CQWW CW Multi-two from the shack and had no interference 
problems at all.

Hope that helps.  In my experience, as long as you use good quality 
cables/coax, there is no problem in running them closely together.  My only 
tip would be, work out how many power sockets you are likely to need and 
quadruple it!

73, Ian G4IIY
