KM4SNW here... passed my technician in the spring, knocked out general this summer. Just starting out - I've got the obligatory Baofeng but want to get into some HF stuff and digital. I'm thinking of picking up an Elecraft KX3 or Yaesu 817ND as a primary HF radio to take camping, out with the scouts, etc.
So... how do you guys run the cable around the house in a way that keeps your wife happy?

Re: Amateur radio tuba players?
I've got a Diamond X6000A that I picked up at a garage sale for $5, a 65' 'backpack antenna' and I'm fiddling with an MFJ 9232 loop antenna tuner... Mrs. Ricko is perfectly fine with me setting these up temporarily on the patio, but I'm trying to work toward something more permanent. So far, the bonus room above the garage on the front of the house is the approved location - with the antennas out back.
I've also picked up one of the SDRPlay boxes and can pick up stuff all the way down in the 3mhz range with the loop... most of the way across the country.
