Hi Mel,

I use an LMB clamshell-style box, made of metal.  The box itself isn't weatherproof, and I've sealed it up around the edges with Gorilla tape [the water-repellent kind], plus RTV around the BNC exit point.  The only caveat with using a metal enclosure is that the BL2 should be mounted 1/2" or more away from any metal except at the BNC end of it.

I brought the balanced signals out through a couple of center insulators.  These are available from DX Engineering, last time I looked.

I am looking for a weather protector for the balun.  On portable uncertain weather, I would rather have some protection.  I have seen a plexiglass one, but it has holes and doesn't look like you can switch it easily.  Any one found a good solution, like a clamshell enclosure????  Thanks.
