In the two years that EA4DOS Elena and I have been in the Sota world, reading this Reflector has been a continuous source of knowledge, initiatives and ideas to be developed for a better enjoyment of the activity.
For our part, we have been sharing the passion for the mountain for 51 years, now enhanced by radio activity, in which we have designed multiple elements or accessories that allow us to face the hostile defenses that the mountain sometimes puts on us when we approach it. .
When we consider transporting the equipment, we think of a case from which it does not have to be removed, once we arrive at the place of activation, and it is put into operation with its various connections, batteries, cw key, micro etc.
We present you the images of the case that we have designed and built according to the elements that we use, and based on our experience.
Box with rigid and padded walls, with Velcro closure.
Portfolio for contact list, which at the same time protects the content.
Padded lid like the rest of the inside of the box.
Distribution of the transported.
Content. The yellow flanges of the frequency selector are to facilitate its rotation.
The cw key box is now used to give more amplitude and resonance to the speaker output, when headphones are not used.
When the space at the top is very limited, as in Ref EA4 / MD-055 constituted by a narrow rock, we use the Elecraft AX-1 telescopic antenna.
For its fixation we have provided an accessory that stabilizes it and keeps it attached to the case.
Clamp and snap closure.
Sometimes the strong wind, or an anticipated rain, advises us to use the bothy bag, in which we have made a small hole that allows us to use the antenna arrangement previously presented. Now in Ref EA4 / MD-045.
If that rain surprises us when entering or returning from the mountain, we have created the waterproof cover with a “chimney”, which protects the sensitive material contained within.
Greetings to all, I hope to hear us on the mountain.
