Subject: Field day Antennas and Kits - part 6
Kits: (Weather boxes for rigs)
 Keeping in mind the kit boxes of a previous post,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 
e
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:
