Topband: Weatherproofing F-type connectors

[Larry K4AB]

I'm in the process of installing a receive 4 square for 160
using F type connectors and high quality flooded RG-6.

Do these things need additional weatherproofing?

As I recall all the many cable TV installations I have had
over the decades, done by major cable and satellite companies,
none have been weatherproofed.

If its good enough for those guys, at those frequencies,
shouldn't it be good for us at 1.8 MHz?
