I'm in Melbourne, Fl., the predicted ground zero for Frances.  All I think I
can do for my 390a is cover it with pastic.  Alternatively I could chain it
to my ankle to keep me from blowing away in the 140 mph winds.   Any other
suggestions?  Jim
Jim I would recommend you seal it in something waterproof. Maybe a couple of 
large plastic garbage bags sealed tight so you have more than one layer of 
protection. You might want to wrap it in something soft first like a blanket so 
there are no sharp edges or corners that could easily tear the plastic bag. 
Putting it in some kind of wooden box or crate might help protect it better also 
after the radio is sealed watertight. At least if it is watertight it wouldn't 
get ruined from being soaked if a window broke and rain blew in the room and 
then left to sit in a wet mess for several days. Best of luck and hope the 
storm misses you. 73 Todd Roberts WD4NGG.
