[TowerTalk] Outdoor box idea

[Ed-W4EP]

There are a large assortment of military ammunition boxes available at
local surplus and gun stores. Most are under $10 and are sealed,
beautifully made. I have seen them all the way up to 3 feet long. The last
one I had was in use at least ten years and was as good as new except for
minor fading of the paint.
