Yes, BUT -- when I mentioned an idea similar to that as the solution to 
mounting a matching network outdoors, my neighbor reminded me the UV from 
Old Sol attacks most plastic materials and turns them to little bits of 
cracked plastic. So the trick is finding a UV-resistant enclosure in the 
shape you suggest.
