The yagis were marked and disassembled for shipment to Morocco. Each box was loaded to match the allowed Volume weight. This averaged about 35Kg per box
All of the boxes were shipped Air Freight. The boxes were double walled and fiber taped. AH8DX used his truck to transport the material to the airport. The longest box was ~3.8 meters.
