[Milsurplus] My Latest Project ART-13/B AM Transmitter

[WA5CAB at cs.com]

I'm afraid I'd be a bit over weight if I ate 320 pounds every day for 
breakfast.  :-)

Seriously, though, I would be more concerned with what happened to the 
fasteners securing the desk to the deck when the ship took a 30 degree roll. 

Plus an ET would have to use a ladder to get the transmitter top cover off. 
 Standing on a ladder while underway is great fun.  If you can fly.
