[TowerTalk] weatherproof plastic enclosures

[Dave - AB7E]

Six months (or less) in the Arizona summer will turn those things to brittle flakes.  I'd advise sticking with the NEMA boxes (Carlon or similar).

I have some of each brand, neither seems to show any signs of deteriorating
after a year of New England Winter / Summer weather, exposed to sun, wind, rain,
etc.  The real test will be what happens after 5 or 10 years !
