[QUOTE="Vipersan, post: 968468, member: 325666"] So ...the antenna is working well but you wanna put it outside ?? At the mercy of the wind and rain .. Weather proofing ...but how ...on the cheap.. Well ..I had a good think about this one ...but couldn't find any plumbing that was suitable ...so what to use ? Thin walled plastic and the right length and diameter.. Then I realised why I dont throw anything that might be repurposed away.. Used sealant tubes .. Perfik ...but not long enough... Diameter wise ..a gift.. but what about 2 end to end ? that would do it .. but they would need joining .. Doh .. silly me the plastic plunger inside is a perfect fit ...and only one is needed .. The other can remain fully depressed and sealing the open nozzle end.. The other can be removed as you have to hacksaw it open anyway to get a tube.. just make sure you dont cut into it.. Pop it out ...remove the middle of the plunger ..and you have a jointing collar.. Nice .. Here is one I prepared earlier ...and yes ..one of those tubes has already been rubbed clean of it's content advertizing... the other will be done presently.. So ..there it is ..the wickes weather sealant antenna .. nice.. :D[ATTACH=full]92418[/ATTACH] ...Now to make a start on Tracey Island ... ..where did I put my B P Badge ????? [/QUOTE]
