[Yaesu] Carrying strap

The Classic FT-980CAT (I have two still) has a carrying strap.  I carried
mine to my second home on St. Simons Island, GA (IOTA 058).  I would guess
the FT-980 as being close to 60 pounds as it is an early FT-1000 sans the
second VFO.  You use tunable memories!

I also carried one to multi op stations for the CQ WW twice in the late
80's.

You would not want to lug the transceiver to a Dxpedition.  (probably can't
lug much gear at all after the recent events in England).
