I saw this one a few days ago on Facebook and was instantly struck with envy. Both for his shack and for the type place he lives. First the text of the post and then the pix:

"Jeff Cutchins‎ to Ham Radio OperatorsDecember 22, 2014 ·

The ham shack of George Ulm, W9EVT, a real SHACK...George lives on Washington Island, Wisconsin, a small community located in the middle of Lake Michigan.George's QTH sits on about 500 acres of the northern part of the island and it consists of a farm house, several barns, and a few guest cottages that were once were part of an apple and cherry farm. George's "shack" is situated in one of those cottages and is about the size of a four bedroom home. There are five or six large towers on the property and some wire and loop antennas that stretch out over a thousand feet. More than 30 pieces of coax gather these into the shack and terminate at the main operating desk that runs the length of the long, rectangular main room. The enormity of George's achievement becomes evident. Here is, quite simply, what could be the most extensive collection of working amateur radio gear ever known. George's first radio from 1938 is there, as is nearly every make and model by all of the popular brands spanning the past 70 years.

I would hate to have to pay his electric bill, what a set up, good Luck to him, and what a superb place to live.
