The EN62 shack is operated "remotely."
Rig is a QRP-Labs QDX. This one I built for 40-15m, and is what I use when portable.
Antenna: Pacific Antenna 20m/40m trapped dipole inside the attic with the ends (last 7 feet on each side) bent down the gable end walls, middle about 27 feet off the ground, with the broad side facing north/south.
A laptop sits in the attic, running WJST-X and Gridtracker.
To operate, I use a remote desktop program to view the laptop on my "remote" screen. This might be from my living room 15 feet away, or wherever I am, hundreds of miles away.
Future plans for this shack: I may set up a 40m LPF on a couple T/R switches, and be able to use my QDX and QCX amplifier (built for 20m) on both 20 and 40m.
