Yepp ! The way a shack should be: tremendously messy, in true ham tradition !
If I would nominate a fellow ham for this award (although I could be eligible for this award too !), then I'd go for my good radio buddy SV7AMJ, a great fellow ham and electronics technician by trade (note: his qrz.com picture is NOT shot at his own shack !!!).I still recall myself looking desperately for a soldering iron in his shack (where absolutely everything, including his vintage equipment collection, was covered with a yellow/brown layer of oily, sticky gunk because he is a fanatic smoker), and finally found it (!) under a pile of small and large papers, cat food, a dozen of books, electronic components, his daughter's toys, a couple of dead tubes and a half-eaten apple.
If there were 3 guys sitting in his shack, then the fourth person should be hovering on the ceiling, above all the debris & junk in order to have access :-)
A few words for my "quickie" sketch now. Was sketched up at 0200 local time. I found a picture of this shack somewhere on the web, I have absolutely no idea whose is it, but I loved it at first sight for its unique character (maybe I saw something of my own in it !) and what I found really challenging, were the numerous details in it, although it was impossible to reproduce them all.
Used soft pencils and a little of charcoal for a few details - I'm in "Sketch-Lust" mode again ! Will post more soon :-)
