    How one seals a connection and what one chooses to seal the 
connection may vary according to the part of the county a station is 
located.   One technique which the locals here have used to seal coax 
connections (particularly around barrell connectors) is to take a piece 
of  plastic kitchen wrap (Saran wrap or Handi-wrap) and wrap it around 
the entire connection.   Then use black tape to wrap around the plastic 
wrap.   To remove it, use a utility knife to make a slit and peal it 
off.  The PL-259s and Barrell connector will look new.    How this would 
work in a salt environment is unknown.   Stronger measures would likely 
be necessary there.  73 Steve N0SM
