Check out the K6XX special, dual K3 shelf used at R31A: http://sites.google.com/site/rtavan/amateurradio/k6xx-dual-k3-shelf
The photos were not intended to illustrate the majesty of this ultra-portable shelf but if you squint you should get the idea. The requirements were to: 1. Support two K3s stably, a few inches above two tables separated by several feet. 2. Support a logic and switching box accessible to both operators. 3. Provide cable dress and limited strain relief for cables from the logic box. 4. Break down to pack into a suitcase. 5. Weigh only a few ounces. It's in the shape of a very tall letter "I" (avec serifs) on its side. The main member is about four feet long but breaks down into two dowel-connected segments. The 6" cross members at the ends each support one front foot of a K3 on top and the extended bail nudges the side. A third point of contact is between the lateral member and the bottom panel of the K3, on the side opposite the one supported foot. It is surprisingly stable and held up through a frantic 24 hours and over 3100 QSOs. /Rick N6XI On 7/14/10, [email protected] <[email protected]> wrote: > > > Something I noticed in the pictures when I first saw them was the WRTC K3 > shelf.
