The boxes arrived early and I swapped the temporary (and leaking/condensating) tubs for the SOCKiT DRiBOX 200’s I started discussing a few days back at: https://k9zw.wordpress.com/2020/05/22/rbog-at-the-far-end-enclosure-solution-sockitbox-dribox-200/
Here is one as installed.
DRIBOX installed RBOG-Vee Array Leg 2
The boxes seem made well, and after a few months I will open them up check to check how things have gone. The have a jelled-gasket, top & bottom, that seals around the wires. I ran the ground out one end and the twin-conductor antenna wire out the other.
They are UV rated, but digging I cannot find out what that actually means.
There will be three tests coming up for these boxes:
- Will they stay dry?
- Will the UV wreck them?
- Will they survive Winter’s cold and snows?
As the domestic market for these is the UK, and primary export market is Europe, they may be pushed a bit to survive what Wisconsin Weather can dish out.
More in about 6 months and a year.
