so we're in the old unit so this is f2 but a lot of this is f3 oh lockheed says this is f3
but a lot of you want the tour so we are literally if lucky just stays there well we've stripped
quite a lot of this out but we've got 1500 poles arriving soon 1 500 of these we just run out of
space and upstairs was full we got cardboard boxes and everything but next door came free that's the
point so i thought i'd give you a little talk because we've nearly finished the fit out in f2
now this was all brown paint it's part of the deal with the landlord ready all painted grey
so we had these racks installed so lucky's just already started bringing some of the stuff over
so we're keeping next door but we're having this as well you see lockheed's got a plan because it's
his stock wherever he's going you see things like that i mean that's only about 120 cardboard boxes
up there and we order 300 at a time so it's like where do we put it all the long-term warehouse
next door this is the short-term warehouse there we are we're lucky stanley in fact we'll swap
we might i don't know might put something here maybe who knows this table over here has currently
got a prince from it but luckily he's gonna have he wants some big brackets here because
he uses that big cardboard roll to wrap these poles wendy has very kindly cleaned the kitchen
very nice where the nuts and bolts literally happen so over this side
as you can see lucky's got all his plate sets here uh rapid rapid put these shells up the
other day the paint's just drying i can tell now these work tops were fitted by a man called adam
so this is standard racking which we had cut and then i had adam come in and he put these tops on
so they're industrial quality it's mdf but it's coated in this plastic stuff so lockheed's got 5.4
meters of workspace because this is final dispatch you see that's what lucky does so this is a
it's an 18 meter pole does it actually fit in this room oh yeah just about uh do you want
this back through here yeah because we've got 50 of these turning up soon but i think 50 of these
that'll at least cover the whole of that maybe a bit downstairs as well there's a little bit
more is going to happen in here as well if you buy the ex commander you get a plastic bag with
all the bits in it she's got a special counting machine here so we know she's got 22 bolts or
17 washers whatever else she's put everything down here because we just felt this morning
paint might still be a little bit wet we made this for her this is she puts the marlo shot
cord on there and she pulls off marlo's shock cord you make our own little fun tools so it's
a replica of the other side and down here look he's got a desk he's got his fancy herman miller
chair all right which actually i've got on a deal but i didn't like but you like it don't you look
at you look he's nodding appropriately we've got um a wall mount turning up for two monitors that
is uh just a big block of oak actually we might move that maybe it'll be all right there wasn't
it locking i want to thought yeah and we get a back door and a view out to the antenna field
which is just kind of over there somewhere you see it's kind of a gap over there not where that man
is down there we get a back door back door with a real lock and key because we have a beautiful
toilet block sounds a bit horrible but it's kind of three four star hotel type toilet block
just there actually so this is downstairs so when you'll do all nut spots washers all the
all the accessories kits here that's lockheed's sort of final dispatch here so when fedex come in
we'll have i don't know fedex here dhl there something like that
fedex for the rest of the world dhl we use for uk so another 24 48 hours we should
be fully moved in but i just wanted to give you a quick tour now what do we use this for
if you know if you've got ideas first but i mean this desk doesn't have to be here
under the stairs you know i suppose what do you do you put the vacuum in there or something
so there's a few odd desks knocking around they'll be going i'll talk
about next door and i'll show you advice in a minute but anyway
we've got the boring bits about going upstairs which we will do at 500 speed
this is where we buy all our products when this desk here wendy will pay for everything
and send you your invoice and all that sort of stuff so that return that was mine but we
thought we'd give it to wendy she's got a main desk here i've just installed her new machine
which we got from dell at about 600 pounds because from the beginning of dx commander
she's been using my old laptop which is well over 10. i used to do all my videos on this
that needs to rebuilt though this it just broke yesterday i had to get
new ones anyway that's all working
with a test print so she can print stuff out so if you remember over there i've got a huge desk
so i think we'll just mirror wendy's so i have a little gap coming up in the middle
and i'll do my email and all my kind of buying here so the question was
i've got my shack is literally through that wall and down so all the cables are literally there
now it's a very nice room ideal for a shack if i move it all up here is i can't i don't do
business and play radio at the same time they have two completely distinct different things
that's a kind of an r d room downstairs this is where i do business i've got a funny feeling i
should probably just keep them separate ah i don't know what would you do i was going to just drill a
hole in the wall here bring all the cables through and then the whole place would be a radio station
i'm a businessman at the end of the day and i should have that for business
so the bottom line is and we'll quickly go through to that room now in fact let's do
that now it's 500 times the speed of light so this is the original dx commander move do you remember
wendy was here what a stay this is so this will be my monitor if i move into
upstairs with that laptop and this is the ham radio shack which you need a tour of but got to
i'll tidy it up before we record this i'll tell you it actually all works it's just a bit of a
mess as we're moving so what i was thinking is this room needs to be a radio room and i think we
should have this for a sort of a more of a radio club more of a kind of an m0mcx ham radio shack
or anything else we can remote control this from home we could remote control it from upstairs
anyway your ideas are welcome always a pleasure to have you around thanks very much for the tour
give us another couple of weeks and we'll be on our feet again next door all sorted but don't
get me wrong just because lockheed's holding the camera it doesn't mean to say he can't dispatch
we've been dispatching every day all right see you next time bye for now
