Starting Your Junk Box

Maintaining a “junk box” - a collection of odds and ends that can be used in future projects and repairs - is a time-honored practice among hams. Every ham radio junk box has to start somewhere, though, the cover story of the January/February 2024 issue of On the Air, “A Fine Mess: Starting Your Junk Box,” by Eric P. Nichols, KL7AJ, offers advice about how to do just that. The January 2024 episode of the On the Air podcast digs deeper by going on location to the workshop of W1AW, ARRL’s Hiram Percy Maxim Memorial Station. Station Manager Joe Carcia, NJ1Q, welcomes us into this working space to show us some real-life junk boxes and discuss how they come in handy.

This is why I have brothers. :) They have the space. This is really nice though, thanks for sharing your workspace.
