Hi,

Look here for a few pictures of my installation:

Warning: The picture files are large. This installation has been in place
since last December and is working very well. It has survived subzero
temperatures as well as 90 F heat. The spot is almost completely shaded from
the sun. The only wires going to the box is 110V AC and coax. Control of the
box is with the utility over a wireless serial server by Lantronix (on the
top of the stack). I tried using an Ethernet server, but it was rather bad
with birdies.

At one time, I think that I recall, that there was some reference to 
a model of this tuner that could be remotely mounted and would be in 
a weather resistant enclosure.

My personal philosophy is that this is the best (only?) way to use an 
antenna tuner.  Now that automated tuners are being implemented by 
most manufacturers, I hope to see more being remotely capable.
