Indeed, Mike.  There are  more tetrodes with handles in Hamdom's 
closets than in shacks.  I know of one station who built a 13db 
"storage cabinet" in the shack for this purpose.  Curiously, the 
storage cabinet was vented into the adjacent car port.  Rumour had it 
that on cold mornings the storage cabinet could be fired up to de-ice 
the car windows.
