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.

Love it, great job!

If I had to provide points of possible improvement:

  • N connector instead of PL259
  • RG214 cable

Source: I'm environmentally damaged from doing GMDSS installs for four years.

Which antenna are you using? What's your TX wattage?

Didn't have N connectors. They're so fiddly to solder. And rg58 is what I have so that is what I use.

It's an IC7000, so it can do 100w on HF. I will use various antennas. But all of them built from bits and pieces in the garage. Mostly eflw, dipols or verticals I think.
