OK, microwave does not heat it. I wanted it to have a curved surface, to prevent it from holding much water. I cannot imagine that there is *much* difference between a WET antenna top, and a WET cover over the antenna. I simply don't know.
In teaching my kids, I teach them about relationships. A person I know, shacked up with his girlfriend, for a couple of years. This was his "Gittin by woman" (to get him by). He had no intent to marry her. No pics on facebook...
Later, he dumped her, and married some gal, who was better looking... This was "his woman". Plasters pics of her all over facebook.
This flexible plastic cover is my "Gittin by" cover. I hope to come up with a long term solution. But, as life is, we sometimes use temporary solutions.
I am posting this solution to look for criticism. Adam posted some. The idea that it increases it's potential to blow over is important. Thanks Adam.
I can live with that... because often when EVENTS start happening, they come with wind. Good thinking, Adam.
Usually I just have 2 or 3 shots more to get, and I don't have to return to a job. Then the rain hits. This would let me "Get by".
Using the screen lock, I can do alot.
In a reference back to the old canister prism units, we used to use clear silicone to GLUE the prism in place, and seal the backside, to keep water out of them. Same deal. So we could work in a bit of rain. It is terrible to go to a job, and find the prism all fogged up, so back you cannot get a return signal.
