I have made a board on which xbee is connected. it communicates with another xbee, 3meters away from it.
Now I have to seal the box. box is made of delrin. I have left small opening from where antenna can come outside. I have to sela the box, since weather is harsh, low as -10C.
I am using xbee with wire antenna:

1. I will fill entire circuit with potting material to make it weather proof. My question is how much antenna height should I keep ouside the box.
