HOME BREWED METAL BOX
A suitable enclosure can be fabricated out of any convent sheet metal material that one is
accustomed to working with. A piano hinge such as can be found at most hardware outlets
should be used to fasten the door to the enclosure. It is important that the remainder of the
door have a flange which makes good electrical contact with the opening of the enclosure.
Failure to have a good contact here will allow excessive radiation to occur, possibly allowing
reception by the satellite system and the costly initiation of a SAR mission. As with the mail box
method, the same kind of bulkhead connector and RF pickup cable can be used.
