Boomboxing in the rain?

[trippy1313]

Simple question. Do any of you use your radios in the rain, and if so, how do you go about doing it, without ruining the radio?

If not, well, I know why not, probably fear of ruining the radio.

Reason I ask is also simple. I live in Washington, where we have entered our 6 month rain season. I love using my boomers but have yet to do so in the rain. Looking for different solutions, if there are any.

I know in general, electronics+water=disaster.

I'm just down the coast in the Redwood forest in Humboldt,California. It's wet.
This ugly thing holds up in drizzle. Also,beach sand. Weak spot is the antenna hole.Loud enough,but not a real thumper.Easy to clean,it was covered in plaster when I found it for $5.

Put a tiny tent over it?

I'm talking more like, walking around with it. I suppose if you had an umbrella, and a shoulder strap on the radio.

Yes,I've done it all!
I use a big plastic pillow bag or large department store bag over the Boombox.usyally mid size like Sharp GF-8989II. Just let it vent once in a while for the music to escape. Yes works even in heavy downpours!! Oh yes & Ira approved!!😎😎🎼📟📻🎃🕊🐚

I run right to it and bring whatever unit I have out at the time and bring it into the house

Boomboxes and rain don't mix - sorry, you'll need one of those modern waterproof BT speakers if you want to be singing in the rain.
