                  My unit is shown on the right and an actual unit owned by Dave KB3ELD on the left. Dave has a lot of stuff. I was quite a bit off on my estimation of the size of the enclosure. But I used standard aluminum stock as the basis for the enclosure and was limited in the sizes.


 
                           

                                                        

                                     My wrinkle paint color was a little off also.
