 It probably doesn't need to be stated, but unless you have the ability to
 hermetically seal these water-tight enclosures, make sure you leave a drip
 hole for condensation to excape.  Water WILL get in them, if you mount
 them outside.  

 Some great ideas showed up on this one.  Good stuff!!

You can also buy single-gang plastic junction boxes wwith gasketed lids at
electrical supply stores.  They're more like 3 x 3 x 5, though - maybe too
big.

Thank heaven for my SB-220 -- it just buckles down and drives the array on
phone even with element lengths tuned for CW.
