[TowerTalk] I.C.E. Products waterproofing

[Joe - WDØM]

Hi Alan,

I put my protectors in a water proof fiberglass box, both at the tower and 
at the house.  Works fine - no need for the sealers.  I have used "Plasti 
Dipt to seal connectors - that also works well, and is removable far easier 
than the coax seal stuff.

Good luck!
