I wonder what you all do to weatherproof an external ATU, both
to keep the weather out, and also to prevent condensation within?
A small brick-built cabinet, perhaps?
Find something plastic that's in one piece, invert it, and put the tuner
inside. So the water just drips off it. A lot of those plastic bins have
covers, though upside down they likely might help water get in. I think
you're supposed to drill a hole in the bottom to cover condensation, just
a small one fixes the problem.
I once found a bunch of cable amplifiers in a garbage bin on the sidewalk,
those were well built for outside use. But too small for an antenna
tuner.
