Cool.  Anything will help.  This is to bring in power from either a DC
power supply or an external battery like a vehicle battery.  I should
also get a mate to simplify charging the battery packs as well but ...
well, one emergency at a time.

Ewps.  I wonder where I got the idea it was the MS-53 that was
stackable.  Hmmm ...

Fair doesn't have any MS-51 sections but they do have MS-52 through
MS-54 (and MS-49 & -50) sections, and I don't know anyone else who
carries any of them.  I've been thinking about using them as part of
the Jeep's antenna array in place of the MS-116, -117, & -118 sections
(especially since the MS-117 seems also the be MIA) if I can find a
base.  They seem to have become scarce over the past 50 years or so.

Best regards,

Michael, WH7HG
