Ham Shack Reinvented
This could put a whole new spin on the ham radio shack – that place where radio amateurs go to make their magic.
The Archipod (yes, it’s another ‘pod’ and we’re all getting sick of that word and its variants) is being pitched as a home office solution though it could be used for anything, like a ham shack.
According to those who make it:
The ‘Pod’ is constructed predominantly from timber, the world’s most replenishable construction material, and is insulated to a standard exceeding that of current Building Regulations. The structure is prefabricated in sections that are sized to allow all the parts to be carried through a house, so it doesn’t matter where you live, we will be able to get the ‘Pod’ into your back garden.
It’s small, cozy, and fairly expensive but plop one of these in your backyard, load it up with your station equipment, and and you’re certain to make the cover of either QST or CQ magazine!

Looks like a giant coconut with a hinge (and an eyeball!).

I saw the post in the feed and was coming to reply that it looks like a coconut. Looks like Larry agrees as well.
