Hi, Jim --

     You and me both! 

      Vapor wrap is a material (typcially butyl rubber) that keeps the
vapor/moisture out of a connector joint. CoaxSeal is a cheap imitation but can
perform the same function - it you don't apply directly to the connectors,
that is. Professional installers use vapor wrap products like db Products,
Andrew, etc. It even comes with some connectors. The real stuff is available
from TOWER TECH for three bucks a foot (it's 3 inches wide and will do 2-3
joints).

Cheers,  Steve  K7LXC
