Came out really nice.
Wood is good! I have three radios and a laptop(Rpi) in wood cases.? Couple of things.? Michaels,? AC Moore?and others sell wood boxes hinged lids, same for Amazon.? Some are pretty neat and strong and?almost any finish from camo to steampunk is easily done. Most of the same places sell "aircraft plywood" with thicknesses from 1/16 thick to a? very solid 3/8ths inch.? With this material any sort of box or panel inside one can be? easily fabricated. It is a minor thing to line the inside with aluminum foil tape if shielding is desired. Allison |

Maybe you should start an exclusive sub-group for owners of QCXs in home-made wooden cases. Call it a splinter group? Good work Brady, I wish I had your skill. John G4EDX QCX30 Nottingham, England On 15 July 2018 at 19:36, Allen Poland <atpoland@...> wrote:

I built one of those back around 2004 when we were establishing a wireless ISP in a small town.? You need three 16' 2x4s and a couple of bolts.? If you support next to a building rather than completely guyed you can even go with a tilt over but you loose a bit of height. On Mon, Jul 16, 2018 at 2:41 AM, John <easydogxray@...> wrote:
