Portable Shack
Posted: Wed May 21, 2014 9:11 pm
Hi All,
Each year i partake in a couple of WICEN NSW events. Ever time i winge to myself about dragging equipment out of my second shack in the shed, packing them up and them unpacking at the radio checkpoint and having radios flopping about on a camping table.
So finally I got of my backside and started to build a portable shack in a box.
Basically it will house permanently a FT897 (HF) FT8800 (VHF/UHF) a scanner of course and what ever else i can cram in. When not portable it will be my second shack in the workshop.
The front opens and the back clips of to attach coax and power, there will be a drawer for pens and stuff. It will have handles and the whole thing can be picked up and put in the back of the dual cab.
Here is some progress photos,
