Thanks! The lining on the two sides opposite the main compartment is
plastic from the lid of an icecream pail. It's been roughened with a
dremel and grinding stone and the roughened side glued to the foam
wall.  Before I added it, the walls bowed out a lot, since they are
only one block thick.  The wall joined to the back wall is also pinned
in place with two U shaped paperclips. It had come use after some use.
I'll be gluing that in place as well.

The far end (from the radio) of each antenna element is tied to each
velcro cable-tie.  White is the 24' vertical element. Orange, yellow,
and green respectively are the 20, 30, and 40 meter band quarterwave
radial elements.
