T1 Operational Temperature Limits?

I'm just about ready to put up a 44' Doublet and feed it with 300 ohm Twin Lead.  I'm going to connect the Twin Lead to a balun and the T1 at the base of the Doublet mast and run about 35' of RG213 back to the shack and my FT-817ND (soon to be a KX3).

I was wondering if the T1 could withstand the cold temperatures we get here in Minnesota.  I wrote Elecraft Support asking if there were any specs or if they thought a temp of -30 to +100 F would cause any problems.  Dale responded, "We do not have any real information on what the temperature limits are, so we suggest you post on the reflector and ask for input from other T1 users who have over the years had T1's out in varying environmental conditions."

Any "Snowmen" out there?

Also.... I'll be needing a BL2 balun so if someone has one they don't need/use, drop me a note off list.

tnx
