[Peter Gottlieb]

I think Ira Moser has those coax antenna adapters. I saw a big box of them at his booth at Xenia.

One man for the radio itself, second for the accessory box and battery and a third for the generator and gas if used. There is a huge watertight box that fits the radio, battery box, antenna and all the other stuff but it’s too big for one man to carry.
