I love how practical and affordable this project is. \u00a0The stand would be simple to disassemble and take to the field in a go-bag or backpack. If it were ever damaged or lost, you could simply build another.<\/p>\n

Of course, it would be quite easy to build similar stands for shortwave portables.<\/p>\n

Thanks again for sharing your project, Tomasz!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
