Actually, I would suggest NOT putting the sensor at the top of a

Actually, for temperature, that might be the best idea yet. I could
run the wires entirely inside, stop somewhere away from the top, and
even disconnect the sensor with a PTT-triggered relay. The application
is a beacon, so the transmit will be very intermittant anyway. I'd
like to keep the entire antenna enclosed in PVC, with nothing hanging
on the side, which is what got me thinking about INside.

Thanks for all the replies.
