[Elecraft] [W2] Waterproofing the sensor

[Bill K9YEQ]

I think I have at least a 50 footer I will try and report back soon, if I
can find it.  Perhaps Wayne  can give us some feedback.

Very useful info Gary - so 'remote' is'nt quite so remote as I had in mind

could anyone who has gone more that a few feet reply with how far they have
gone with it reliably working please?

It never does just what I want, but only what I tell it!
