Hi Mike
There are a few ways I like to do it.
Use several layers of a high quality rubber electrical tape as a base
and then cover that with several layers of a high quality plastic/vinyl
electrical tape.
Use an electrical Insulation Putty such as 3M Scotchfill and some wraps
a high quality plastic/vinyl tape. Properly applied, the Insulation
putty provides an excellent air and water seal. If you suspect you
might disassemble the connectors you may want to tape - putty - tape, as
the electrical putty directly applied to the connectors will make
disasembly very hard and... sticks to everything.

Subject: [Antennaware] Question
I am getting ready to put up my new tower and antennas (been 20 years
since I have had a real antenna). I have used in the past a "filler" to
keep moisture out of my connectors. I forget what I used can anyone let
me know what is advisable. By the way I have used this on some and not
used it on others and never noticed any difference. I worked for
Motorola years ago and with every installation we got a little packet of
"grease" to put in the connector. I don't remember who the manufacturer
was.
