It does not matter how well you seal your box, it will suck in moisture due to the normal heating and cooling of the day, which will then condense on the inside of the box and PCB.
Now, remember before you decide where you want to mount your H Field, you have to find that quite spot with the least amount of 'noise' by using an AM radio tuned to the lower frequencies, of station and listen to the amount of noise while walking around. Attics are great for that as it is a large unoccupied area with ample space to mount you H field. Where you think is the best place for you, might be the worse spot for the H field. I made that mistake when I first started.
Yeah youre right with that! The intention behind my outdoor was to seal it from rain etc. normal heating/cooling-cycles are hard to overcome but at least this design does not directly spoil the amp itself (even if it is relatively cheap to replace).
I dont have any attic to mount the sonsor and also do not have any balcony but a nice garden to place such things.
Outside way away from any source of noice (in my case my homelab etc.) is best but needs at least little protection against the weather.
