Try a mailbox! Really, it works.... get one of the traditional metal ones, and you'll even have a shielded enclosure, which can be grounded. You might not think of a mailbox as being 100% weatherproof, but even in the worst rainstorms you've ever had, has the mail inside your mailbox ever been wet (assuming you have a door on it)? I know mine hasn't.
I now have my Part 15 transmitter sitting outdoors in its new mailbox enclosure right at the base of the antenna. My "STL" is a length of 4-wire household telephone wire running indoors; Red = +12 VDC, Black = common Ground, Yellow = Left channel audio, Green = Right channel audio.
Now, I'm trying to rig up a motor to the mailbox's flag, so that it can be used as an "On Air" indicator when it's in the raised position.![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
