Well done. Great result that the air is clean and dry.
For $25 you can buy a pack of cheap hole saws of different kinds which are good enough for plastic. The more expensive bi metal type I use on aluminium and hardwood. Be careful , clamp it all down to timber and go slow, or use a pedestal drill.

The opening of the silica gel bag was stapled closely. Once the silica gel absorbed moisture the whole bag can be dried in an oven (100 - 120 degrees) It works!

In addition, I made a dehumidifier to attach EP folder to keep inside OTA moisture free (while keep in storage). Jaycar sells a sealed ABS box with a clear rid (a changing colour of silica gel can be seen without opening the box).

All works very well with a fringe of cost. (Except I needed to invest a hole saw for the exact size of the PVC tube... thought around $25 ).
