Gary,
I am also considering moving the K-Line (K3S KPA500) to a “shed” (yet
to be bought) at the base of my antenna.
But my location is in the Philippines where it is hot, humid and it
rains an awful lot (Think Florida without the Oranges)
Are there off-the-shelf containers for such things, or do people run
A/C or De-Humidifiers etc ??
