Hi David. I haven't waterproofed the sensor head but I did experiment with a ~30m long Ethernet cable to see whether I could locate a second sensor at my remote antenna switch plus the one near the rig, to check the feeder loss. It didn't work out. Looking at the schematics, I think there are resistors in the lines inside the sensor box that might be worth bypassing to see if I can get enough signal back for a realistic reading, but I ran out of play time before being able to try that.
