Simple, and it worked out on the wet side of the Big Island (KH6) where we got 190 inches in 2009. Wrap with good quality electrical tape, coat with liquid tape. Wrap again, and coat again. Cheap eff

The little tube of grease that was traditionally supplied with Andrew connectors was never recommended, at least in their printed instructions, to be applied to the *inside* of the connector in the m
