The installation of any radio shack or portable system is of utmost importance. Of course, everything seems as
though it's of utmost importance with HF radio systems! In all of the other cases, it's been for technical or practical
reasons that something was done in a particular manner. In the case of setting up the shack or mobile installation, it's
all convenience. If the equipment is installed such a way that it is inconvenient for you to operate it, chances are that
you won't. If you don't use your HF equipment, you could miss out on the fun of operating an amateur station, your
organization could miss out on the benefits of utilizing the full benefits of this communications medium, or you
could put yourself in danger by being uninformed.
For a base-station installation, determining the location for your transceiver is simple. Just find a comfortable
work area (such as on a large desk or table) and sit it there. For any other type of installation, you are bound to find
yourself working against small space, an uncomfortable mounting location, and potentially harsh conditions. Then
it's time to get creative.
