Hi Doc,

Take a look at the 2nd and 3rd photos down on 
http://www.rogerhalstead.com/ham_files/cablebox.htm .  These are NEMA 
enclosures (NEMA 1 "I think"). I'd use larger than the one shown (and 
have since). They are the same as the one used on the tower (photo#1) 
and they are a bit on the pricey side, but are well made and rugged.  
Clean and give a good coat of paint (Rustoleum or something of good 
quality) to prevent rusting. The primer they come with isn't quite up to 
the job. <:-))
