[Elecraft] Remoting the T1: enclosures?

[Jack Smith]

Hard to beat the standard NEMA boxes for outdoor use, like a NEMA 12, 13
or 14. Not cheap, but weatherproof and easy to find at your local
electrical supply house. Available in galvanized, fiberglass and
stainless steel.

I use one at the base of my Rohn 45 tower to hold the lightning arrestors.
