>  My second question is weatherproofing connectors: Reading  through the 
archives I saw a method of doing this that I was planning on  using: 1 
layer of Super 88 tape, a layer of 3M 130C self-annealing tape  then 
two layers of Super-88 counter-wrapped on top. Is this a good way to  
go, do you think? Is there something better, maybe? Until now I've  
just used Coax-Seal predominantly, but I suspect the 130C/Super 88 is  
a better solution. Agree? Disagree?
 
    Well, I don't like Coaxseal because once it's  applied directly on a 
connector, you can't get it off. But your described  method is exactly the way to 
do it. Whether you use Coaxseal or another type  of butyl rubber vapor wrap, 
you'll have a bombproof joint.
