I think what's getting overlooked in many of the replies is the effect
of the repeated expansion/contraction cycles of daily operation on the
equipment. I'm not discounting the comments about moisture, but this is
how we get socketed components slowly working their way out. You might
want to open things up occasionally and make sure things are still
seated, cables still fully connected etc. This will happen much more
frequently in cold winters than in warm summers.

My shack is a room in a barn attic space, separate from the house, no HVAC so
cooling is one window and heating is a space heater (when I am working the
waves). Otherwise storage is ambient temp in the room. Winter temps typically
down to low 20s, summer up to 90s. Sunny summer temp in the shack gets up to
120. My concerns are leaving the KX2 (#3007) and KXPA100 (#2802) in the shack
and the effects of daily cycling the temp, especially in winter. My “internet
research” (maybe an oxymoron?) has such varied opinions it is worthless. What
say you, my fellow Elecraft faithful?
