Dear TowerTalk guys,
I have both I.C.E. COAX lightning protection and rotor control cable
protection on my roof-top tower. Now that Winter is coming I am thinking about
covering up those boxes with some sort of plastic wrap or outdoor tape? The
instructions say do not expose to direct WX (oops). 

I tried some cheap TYVEC and Duct Tape and both shreded in a short time when
exposed to the sun and rain this Summer.  I can't consolidate them and install
a weatherproof box for this yr - but maybe next yr. 

What can I do to weatherproof the little boxes for this Winter WX?

Appreciate your suggestions. Mny TNX,
