Subject: FW: Container storage

A friend of mine, who lives up around where I used to live til 1995, north of Seattle WA, put a container on his property to keep his various hoardings.
I thought about this and wondered about condensation.
I have a '92 minivan, a cargo van with no insulation. I don't know if the seals are shot now or maybe I just didn't notice this earlier. But on winterish
days, when there's a lot of humidity in the air, and after the sun sets the temperature plummets, you feel the roof of the van inside and it's wet. As in,
up to dripping wet!
I recently bought a new van and it's a cargo - passenger hybrid with more windows and insulation on all interior surfaces. No more soggy cardboard
and rusting tools inside this one !

Barry,

  I am convinced that containers are a real risky proposition to store radio collections in.
  We had a SK that stored his excess material in a container, and nearly everything was turned to junk: There was rust and mold everywhere (SW WA, where we have about 8-9 months of rainy weather every year). Very little was salvageable... A true shame.
