Radio Stand Hack
« on: July 18, 2019, 1438 UTC »

After breaking enough cheap Tecsun plastic radio flip up "stands", sending to China for more, and breaking those; I thought I'd give a go at devising one.  I took a spinach container with a lip, cut it on a 45 degree angle.  I notched the upper left hand corner where the antenna would lie.  Voila, radio stand.
