Hi Charles et all

below is a link that I use for waterproof enclosures for wireless 
installs.  The boxes are NEMA4 , a little expensive, the largest box with
a non powered interior is about $250...

hope this helps,,

Im having a bear of a time searching on ebay for a telecom style 
waterproof enclosure box that I could mount at the base of my tower 
and use as a junction box for any coaxes running to/from the 
tower.  I saw one at a local club's auction and now I am kicking 
myself for not bidding $25!!!   This box looked to be injection 
molded plastic with pem nut style threaded inserts so you could mount 
it to things and mount things inside it.  The size was about 12" wide 
20" high and 10" deep. I would even go for a bigger box that coule be 
mounted to some 4x4s concreted into the ground next to the tower.

Any help or ideas would be much appreciated.
