- If your station is in an area used frequently by other family members, be
- sure they know what they should not touch. You should have some means of
- ensuring that no unauthorized person can use your equipment. One of the
- best ways to do this is to install a key operated on off switch in the power
- line to the equipment. When the switch is turned off and you have the key
- in your pocket, you will be sure that no one can misuse your station.
- Since you will eventually want to do some operating late at night to snag the
- rare ones on 80 and 40 meters, remember that although Morse code is music to
- your ears, it may not endear you to a sleeping family. Putting your station
- in a bedroom shared with your spouse or with brothers or sisters may not be
- the best idea. You can keep the music to yourself, however, by using a good
- pair of headphones when operating your station. +
