Hey, who worries about taking the joint APART??  I just hopt that it
stays TOGETHER with no water incursion!  Hey, I'll cut the coax if need
be!

By the way, I have found some "shrink wrap" type of black material to
cover connections with that you heat with a torch...  Some guys
installing a comercial satellite installation gave me a couple of
pieces... It seals like the original insulation on the coax and looks
totally waterproof...  I hope someone knows the brand or source for this
stuff..
