    portable / camping crate

    had some spare time this weekend so I did some work on my "camping crate radio" I originally wanted to put everything in an old wood style milk/soda/beer crate but haven't come up with anything local so I decided to just put it in a plastic crate for now just to make sure everything works together.

    optima mk3 radio (power set to run the palomar)
    clone hm36 mic
    radioshack external speaker
    radioshack swr/power meter
    palomar box
    MegaWatt 30 amp power supply(no noise and holds 14v even under a load,, very supprised by this supply!!)
    automotive volt gauge

    had it up and running last night for a few hours and everything works fine together!
    need to go pick up a fan for the palomar but other than that its ready to use

    also made a couple antennas to hang in some trees and I made a antenna launcher for about $12 from walmart with a slingshot and fishing reel(tried this out in the back yard and launched a line over a 50' tree with no problem)
