-The box was already opened
+The box was already opened with 3 holes, so I printed 3 caps with my 3D printer and glued them with epoxy glue.
+holes of 5mm have been drilled for the antenna wire and maybe the counterpoise if needed.
+The box is installed at about 6.5m near the roof of my house.
+The wire has been cut to 19 meters of 0.75mm² multi conductor wire (standard for home purpose) and 25cm were folded back to achieve the tuning. I've a perfect match at the first time ! The end of the wire is at about 9m from ground, on a fishing pole.
