Dear Gang:

I am wondering what the experiences of the group are in operating from a wet
environment--say, in a kayak, or just QRP portable when it is drizzling and you
can't be in a shelter or tent?  I have finally figured out how to mount an
antenna into my inflatable kayak (I think--as yet untried), and I'm hoping for
some operating ideas other than keeping the rig inside a dry bag while
operating.

Has anyone tried to make a KX1 splashproof by enclosing it in something akin to
a heavy baggie, with rubber bands wound around the bag where the antenna, key,
and power cables come through?  It wouldn't be waterproof, but it might work. 


73,
