Bob:
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
Carry-on

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?
