<< I am looking for a source for a plastic box to use near the base of my
tower 
 to house a coax switch box, rotor cable protection, and a few other small 
 pieces of gear. The box size needs to be about 20" x 10" by 10" deep. The 
 purpose of the box is to keep water away from the gear. >>

Paul:

If you don't mind spendin $20-$30 head to your local wholesale electrical
supply house and buy a "J" (junction) box.  They come in a variety of large
sizes.  The lids open to the front, they will "U Bolt" to a tower leg, and the
wires feed in the bottom.  Totally weatherproof and they last forever.
