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.
