[Towertalk] TH6DXX trap end caps

[ditzian@alltel.net]

Dale points out that it is possible to get TH6DXX trap end caps from 
Hy-gain. However, a set of caps is $20. 

Some of my caps are cracking, others are not. Those that are damaged 
could be patched with plastic cement or rubberized tape. There are 
weep holes in the trap covers, so making a moisture-proof seal is 
purposeless. I suspect that the  idea is to keep a stream of water 
from running into the trap. Even then, it would be tough to short the 
trap, since it is about 1/2" away from the cover.

Do I really need new end caps, or is some tape or cement adequate?
