[Elecraft] KX1 K1 Operating in Wet Environment

[eric norris]

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.
