[TowerTalk] 6m YAGI PROBLEM

[Scott MacKenzie]

Thank you Arne - I like that idea.  I suspect that is where my problem is -
moisture in the dielectric sleeve of the gamma match.

Coat the end of the coax with RTV and allow to dry thoroughly.  Then insert
the coax into the gamma sleeve.  Leave the end of the gamma sleeve open. 
This should eliminate the moisture problem since the sleeve is allowed to
breathe.  The RTV on the end coax where the inner conductor is exposed
provides the dielectric for the end of inner conductor of the coax.
