I'd put a little plastic or Tupperware box over it. The 70cm version that I have has only been used for Field Day, so it's not been outside much, but it definitely shows signs of having been damp. 73, Jim KQ6EA

To: amsat-bb@AMSAT.Org Date: Tuesday, October 13, 2009, 12:37 PM Anyone out there with KLM antennas with the polarity switch care to comment on whether you have put a housing on the switch to protect it from the elements? It looks like the relay has silicon around the base but it just grates me the wrong way to have a circuit board with a power connection and components exposed to the elements.
Maybe it has not been an issue but I'd care to hear of anyone experiences. If anyone has built up a housing and have pictures or directions, please pass them along
