[1000mp] Packing 1000MP

Look here:

Pelican cases are hard to beat for protection, although
they are *HEAVY* (27.5 pounds EMPTY)!

I bought a Pelican 1650 to transport my FT-1000MP to
Curacao, and then the Signal Point / PJ2T station 
started converting over to 'MPs, making my transport 
unnecessary (we have three 'MPs on-site).

I never purchased the high density foam, and never 
cut the foam that came in it. I keep expecting that 
a need will arise, and in the meantime, I *really* 
admire the engineering that went into the Pelican
1650!
