hey, you are on a boat or yacht? years ago, my granddad had a yacht. he
used VHF, LORAN, Yaesu 757, etc. $2000 invested in the Yaesu, and only $100
damage to the PL259 and dial.

they do make marine radios for VHF which are water proofed. there might be
some shortwave and HF equivalents, but they are probably expensive.

at $100, just get a cheap shortwave. you can always replace it and it's
less than the cost of a professional marine rig.
