Hi All
In reply to some observations about my recent
CT/G3KEV message.
The EL morse key has a solid metal base to keep it
from shifting about when keying. It and the transceiver were carried in my hand
cabin baggage. The bag was carefully packed to avoid damage but I had to empty
and repack it at security. The carbon fibre 10 metre retractable mast went
through the FRAGILE items desk from LEEDS but on the return journey I decided to
carry it as cabin baggage from FARO but when boarding the aircraft a member of
staff took it and put it in the hold as a fragile item. The walking stick
approach did not work for me, I forgot to limp and looked too young anyway
!!!!!!!!!!!
There seems to be a lof of variations in procedures
at airports. All the personal luggage and radio equipment got there and back
without damage so I cannot complain, in fact the whole operation was very
efficient and no delays.
