[Elecraft] Home sewn chest pack

[Daniel L Brinneman]

Hi all,

Anyone have experience with a bit of material available at Wal-mart or
K-mart that is tough and can be sewn together without breaking the sewing
maching needle?   Want to make a chest pack to hold my K2 while SSB'ing. 
I built the PAC-12, by KA5DVS, has the same dB gain as the Super Antennas
MP-1 and cost only between 9 and 15 dollars to build.  I want to have a
goal of loosing weight by walking a 1/4 of a mile to my volunteer work,
by doing Pedestrian Mobile (PM).

I might put some pix on my website, www.kg4dni.com Click on Daniel

If you don't have any ideas, I will spend ~$30 at Pet Smart.  They have a
pet carrying case with several pouches and harness straps for the
person's shoulders and straps to clip around the mid-chest and waist. 
Very well padded.  And a big pouch for the dog or your K2 and a
drawstring to close it up.  Pet Smart sells L, M, & S.  I am not
affiliated with Pet Smart in any way.  I was thinking of making a stand
that the K2 could sit on inside of the pack from Pet Smart, and relieve
stress on the coaxial connectors.  Search for "Carrying Pack" on the Pet
Smart website.
