Hi folks;

Couple weeks back, someone posted a link of information on how to seal the
end of coax when im attaching it to my rotatable dipole -- i currently have
the coax wound and taped as a choke, and then the end is skinned back and
attached to my dipole center to one side shield to the other -- i tried to
seal it with silicone but it appears water has gotten in (fluxuating swr
etc) so i need to either chop off the wet part and start over or install new
coax -- but either way -- i need to seal it --
any help would be appreciated

TIM
