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. +
