Are you sure you want to take your Elecraft radio to 88NV? I'd put it
in a Ziploc bag ... maybe double bag it.

A white (or very light) object will simply absorb much less heat ...
all.day.long. And it will still be able to reradiate heat. Just not

A dark object wouldn't be able to radiate its considerably greater

The specific patterns in Camo fabric are copyrighted but not the technique.
As long as you don't use the specific pattern you should be OK. That is
tough to do with fabric but relatively easy to do with silk screen.

I think that a brighter color scheme would make for easier visibility when
trying to find everything whilst on a hiking/hamming outing. In the
twilight especially. I want to make sure I have EVERYTHING as I’m repacking

What about commemorative color and camouflage schemes to honor our
service men? Dan, WV1P did some nice work with Fallujha and digital
camouflage as well as drab olive green.
Some of his work can be seen here:

As "fallout" from Rose's case and cover efforts we find that cammo fabric
