[TowerTalk] Sealing feed point connection on yagi

[Bill Gillenwater]

Stokley, I use high quality industrial silicone, it is made by a company
named Innerbond. It dries to a firm rubber consistency and after several
years in the weather you can remove it from the connection and everything
looks like the day you applied it.

Subject: [TowerTalk] Sealing feed point connection on yagi


Hello TT'ers,
I'm installing a WARC-band yagi and have everything just about finished
except I'm wondering what (if anything) to do about sealing the connection
between the coax balun (tinned copper eyelets soldered to the coax braid and
center conductor) and the SS bolts on the driven element.  Is anything
gained by wrapping the feed point connection in cold fusion tape and
covering with 3M electrical tape or just leaving it bare?  The balun is very
well sealed so I'm not worried about water getting into it.
