Subject: Field day Antennas and Kits - part 6
Kits: (Weather boxes for rigs)
Keeping in mind the kit boxes of a previous posting, a box can be
made to house your rig, P/S, tuner, and speaker. For example, an old
machinary crate box can be used for this purpose. The box should be
about 2' X 1.5' ant the top and at least 1.5' deep with a lid. The
box can be cleaned out, sanded, and stained or for that rustic look,
Placing handles on the sides makes for an easy lift. The lid can
be hinged and a clasp placed on the front for locking. Feed through RF
connectors can be installed on the back side for antenna attachment.
A fan or pair of fans on eith side can be added for cooling. External
power connectors round off the field day / emergency kit.
The radio kit could look something like this:

Screw on legs can be added to the box if a table is not available.
Also the lid can be removed and legs attached for a seat.
