Ever suspicious, checked it with the rough-cut plywood panels for its rightful home chocked perilously round it and all well. Finished box yesterday except for antenna access and waterproofing so got stuck in today to finish job by lining with 'turkey foil' and sealing antenna entry point. ************** This weekend I had to evict the LF coils (XYL's idea) from the small greenhouse ready for the flowers, hanging baskets & tomato's etc, so I was stuck for somewere to keep the coils, no room in shack ! therefore a trip to the local DIY stores revealed what I thought was a suitable outside store for the coils etc. I purchased a small garden tool storage unit from the local B & Q DIY store for £24.99, it is a long low box shape with the opening on top but I have placed it on end so it is upright with the door now at the front not the top. Have a look at www.wgtaylor.talkgas.net\coilcabinet.jpg & see what you think. Still requires some mods for feeder & antenna to go in. 73 Gary G4WGT --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
