I know a bunch of hams who went to Christmas Island with a pile of K3s, and they enjoyed the fresh sea breeze so much ... they left the windows open instead of closing the windows and using air conditioning.

Can you picture a pile of K3s rapidly corroding in the warm sea breeze? By the time they returned home... well... I guess they were pretty messed up.

There is an important lesson here: 1) close the window... and 2) I will be leaving my TT gear at home.
