They look nice and have your callsign, but they cost $100. Eham had an article from Mike Higgins k6aer, where he was using a Tupperware dish. Well, this past weekend while walking through Hobby Lobby, I found the perfect cover for my Begali. It looks nice (much better than Tupperware) and is cheap! How about $6?<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Towards the back of the store, away from the home furnishings, is the models cars and balsa wood and whatnot. They have “trophy cases” for various size balls, baseballs, basketballs, soccer, hockey pucks, etc. Looking at them, it appeared as though the Softball display case would fit the key. I cut it down to size and made the paddle hole with a dremmel tool. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><br>The reflector wont’ easily pass inline images, so I uploaded it to Imgur. This is a VALID link. My cover is a beta version, I messed up on in the back. Anyway, its 6 bucks.. I’ll make another!<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Here’s the link: <a href="https://imgur.com/YrPjfwT">https://imgur.com/YrPjfwT</a><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Charlie<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>N5WE<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
