[Hi-zreceivingarraydiscussions] Weatherproofing preamps

[Dan Kovatch]

Dave, Over the years I have found that weatherproofing rather than water 
proofing is the goal. Early attempts to seal units against moisture were 
given up as you always end up with condensation. What I do now is keep 
transformers and preamps out of direct sunlight and with a roof over there 
head. This seems to work better than anything else I've tried. The current 
shelters for the HIZ preamps are plastic coffee cans cut down to allow 
cables in and out. The inverted can is left open and its basic function is 
to shed snow, rain and sun. I use decaf of course so the preamps don't get 
hyper!

Greetings. . .

Anyone have suggestions for a good permanent solution to weatherproof the 
preamp units for the vertical arrays?

A happy owner of 8 el 160 narrow array.
