Re: Environmental TLDs

["Daniel A. Gonzalez" <dannyg@gate.net>]

At least for the Panasonic type TLDs there are TLD holders available in the
market that keep TLDs dry made of plastic that use a rubber ring to keep
out water.  They also protect the TLD from UV radiation.  I can give you
the name and number of an individual who knows the vendors that offer these
devices.  Send e-mail to me at dannyg@gate.net and I can provide you with
the info.  :)
