I remember the National ads in QST (around 1947). Full page with a
picture of the raft and the NC-173 Does anyone remember what Thor
used to power the equipment?? They were adrift for quite some time
(3 months?) and lead acid batteries would need charging after a few
day's from operating the 173, not to mention the transmitter. Their
back up xmtr was qrp, (British Mark II) powered by a hand crank
generator. I believe he had two radio techs/ops with him. (What
were their calls???) That's about all I can remember

Yes, you will need a dry box like a Pelican case or equivalent.
You can
do it. Thor Heyerdahl used an National NC-173 on the Kon Tiki and he
used a modified Heath HW-32A on the Ra expedition.
Good luck. Will you be issuing special QSL's?

I know that at some time in the past, Tentec made a tuner designed
more or less to
go with the Scout. I need some information about this tuner. First,
what model number is
it? Second, does it have a balanced line input. And third, does
someone
have one
they would be willing to part with? I need it to provide radio
access
on an upcoming
whitewater raft trip down the Middle Fork of the Salmon River.
