We BASHers fly in the rain whenever necessary (and snow and hail unfortunately). Before I got a computer transmitter, I used to not worry about it. If the rain got too heavy, I'd attempt to use a plastic grocery bag. It worked somewhat but was tough to keep on the radio in the wind and it made a lot of noise as it rustled about. No problem though. The transmitter worked fine. BASHer Mike however couldn't stomach the thought of rain falling on his computer radio and enlisted the help of his wife. They designed a transmitter mitt that shields the radio and keeps your hands warm! We all had to have one and talked his wife into selling them. She now sells them at $30 each. You can see the mitt at: http://www.fatlion.com/bash/mitt.html Now, I have a computer radio and am FAR less cavalier about using it in the rain. I love my mitt and keep it in the car always.
