Shave and a HAM Bag

I have decided to use BNC Antennas to allow interoperability of the antenna system with my QuickSilver Radios
HAMMO-Can which also used BNC connections. This is by no means meant as a be all and end all list. Tailor to your
needs. I found Rivet D-rings at Tandy Leather to add a strap for over the shoulder wear. Why so many writing
instruments, knives, and Flashlights? There is an old Maxim “One is None and Two is One”
