Behind The Racks
This
picture does not show very well, however there is 30 feet of storage shelving
along the east wall (left) behind the rack cabinets. The racks act like
a partition which isolate the storage shelving from the main radio room. There
is a 25' long by 3' wide walk-way between the storage shelving and the rear of
the racks. Beside providing access to the storage shelving, this walk-way also
provides access to the rear of the racks for wiring and cabling maintenance.
Entry to this area is left of the racks by the antenna wall field.

The ham radio shack is everything right of the fireplace and the window is closed off from the inside. This east wall of the ham radio shack is lined with storage shelves which are behind the vintage radio racks.
