Claim 15:
16. An apparatus for containing a remote data transmit module below grade, the apparatus comprising:
a containment housing having sidewalls and an open top, wherein the containment housing is adapted for placement in a ground below a grade level, further including a plurality of slots formed in the sidewalls of the containment housing;
a cover supported by the containment housing at the open top of the containment housing;
an antenna assembly having a breakaway base, pole sections coupled to the breakaway base, and an active element coupled to a free end of the pole sections;
a remote data transmit module contained within the containment housing and adapted to electrically couple to the active element of the antenna assembly; and
at least a portion of an environment sensor contained with the containment housing, wherein the environment sensor is a type of sensor capable of communicating with the remote data transmit module; and
wherein the containment housing is adapted to contain both the portion of the environment sensor contained within the containment housing and the remote data transmit module in the ground below the grade level.
