Radio shack

A radio shack is a room or structure used for housing radio equipment. During radio's early days, equipment was experimental and home-built. The first radio transmitters used a spark to generate radio waves and were often housed in a garage or shed. When radio was first adopted by the U.S. Navy, a small, wooden structure placed on deck to house the ship's radio equipment became known as the "radio shack." Today, a radio shack can be anywhere that radio equipment is housed and operated, usually a room, but for some the entire "shack" may consist of a hand-held radio or two while others may operate mobile equipment in a vehicle.
