An ice fishing box to house my ic-7000, an atu, a battery pack. Very crude but solid rack made of pine board I had laying around. This is cobbling of the best sort.

      It’s like a fannypack… but you put it on your man. punches another hole in the drywall “yeah! I am a maaaaaaannnnnnnn!”

        The women drywallers be like: “Cringe…”

        …but yes, fannypack would’ve sufficed.

      It’s a (kind of silly) throwback to the radios that armies used in the first half of the 20th century that were large enough to necessitate a dedicated person backpacking them around everywhere. It’s still common in ham radio like other traditionalist terms. “Portable station” is more accurate, but maybe boring?
