WS No 19
Michael...
I've got mine set up in the ground station role on the wooden base which has handles. The canvas cover No 5 has "T" cut outs at either end in order to accommodate the handles and then snap fasten together. I use a CPP-2 "rectifier" (more like a step down transformer) which can be easily converted from 12V to 24V.
Now that good weather is upon us, I'm deciding which kind of antenna array I'll use. Currently I've got Bell wire strung around the radio room attached to a piece of stub antenna. Works good, I listen to BBC World Service regularly.
The canvas cover No 1 seems to be applicable to other than ground station role in that the cover looks like it will cover the PS and RT only... the vario and calibrator would (probably) be turret mounted elsewhere with appropriate cabling. The heavy cast mount which takes the PS and RT would seem to be applicable to this kind of installation.

Cheers, and have you heard about the Chatsworth bash at the end of June? If interested, e-mail off forum and I'll provide you with details. Looks like Stewart Loy is attending this year, among many others.
