Are you by any chance building a mobile radio station? One that, ahem, has small wattage and is kind of hard to locate?
COOL!!!
You are half right. Small wattage radio station, probably remotely located, but completely legal. (Sorry to disappoint you there). See Dr Steve's reply. I know him from other groups that I tend to lurk around, but have yet to hear him on air. (20m PSK31 Steve, see you there)
I have spent the whole evening in deep discussions with my co-builder and still cannot make up my mind whether to have plywood walls, clad stick frames or what. Too many decisions!
The basic problem was that the original idea to use a commercially made sandwich of Stucco aluminium cladding on a 25mm styrene sheet with 6mm plywood interior cost about $270 a sheet, so Plan A went right out the window.
Apart from the cladding dilemma, I have the basic shape, interior design etc pretty firmly settled.
