insure that no wires dangle down to the level where he can grab on to them.
Keep tabs on him to make sure he's not trying to climb up on the desk, 
though at 8 months old I doubt he'd get too far...the only way he could have 
knocked that power supply off is if he grabbed on to, or hung off dangling 
wires...keep those out of his reach and things will be peachy.
It's like anything else in the house...baby proofing usually means a simple 
matter of keeping certain items out of vertical reach and insuring that 
there is no chair, stool or other item that can be climbed upon to reach 
that particular item you wish to keep out of reach lol.
You have to think strategically otherwise they will find a way.
Use tape or snap ties to secure wires if you can't help having them go to 
the floor etc...secure them to something solid as a strain relief if he does 
manage to grab on or hang on.
Also, firmly engrain in his mind that playing around that area of the house 
is not acceptible...he's young yet to understand that, but keep reminding 
him that he's not supposed to play around the ham desk and he'll remember 
that forever...though of course, including him in the fun part of talking on 
the radio and enjoying the radio is very important.
Thankfully he's little enough that you can nip this in the bud while you 
have time...if you wait until they are 2 or so it's a much harder job 
hahahaha.
I've always had guitars and amps and music gear and radio equipment and 
computer equipment scattered all over my house...I showed the kids early on 
how to respect that stuff without being afraid of it or thinking they were 
negative items because they got in trouble for touching or moving them. 
It's more of an expectation of behavior rather than scolding each time they 
do something.
