[Antennaware] should i cover cushcraft traps ?

[Guy Olinger, K2AV]

Changes in temperature and air pressure will always cause ingress of water 
vapor, which will condense. The trick is to leave water a way to leave.  Don't 
bother to try and seal them. It may work temporarily but won't work for long. 
There is too much flexing force at the traps to keep permanent seals.
