[ICOM] Shipping rigs

[Ed - K9EW]

I have shipped several boatanchor rigs in the 30 - 60 pound range
without damage.  I've documented my packing method on my website at
www.k9ew.us.  The method I have documented is very conservative, and I
am constantly looking for simpler - but still safe - methods.  I like
the idea of tying up bags of peanuts.  The "pillows" will keep the
equipment away from the sides of the box, and they will also absorb
much of the shock.  The cushioning material should be matched to the
weight of the item being shipped.

I hope this can be of some use to others who ship radio gear.
