Except that ... connectors are perhaps the major source of feedline 
problems, through improper installation, water ingress, and the 
like.  There have been lots of threads on towertalk over the years bearing 
on this -- any of the combinations of proper soldering and liquid 
electrical tape, vapor wrap and Scotch electrical tape discussed there will 
do the job.
