Hi Guys,

thanks for all the comments / suggestions.

Hope I've made the right choice, but have opted to powder coat the frame and lacquer the inserts.

If all goes to plan should have the case back in the next day or two ready to assemble.

I'll post some more pictures later.

As a tx, I'm getting good reports on it but ironically have yet to have a 160M contact - the band I originally built it for as a Codar AT5 on steroids !

Regards Tim
