[TowerTalk] Sealing coax connectors

[David Robbins]

cheaper, simpler, works fine here, but we only had 50" of rain last year.... take handful of duct seal, mold around connectors and over coax, wrap with two layers of cheap tape just to squeeze it in place and out of the sun.  same removal method, split the tape and pull apart, usually most of the duct seal sticks to the tape and the connector is relatively clean.  i prefer this to liquid tape or other stuff like that up towers since there is nothing to spill and no time to wait for drying.

got 190 inches in 2009.
Wrap with good quality electrical tape, coat with liquid tape. Wrap 
again, and coat again. Cheap effective and just split the taped connection with 
a utility knife when you want to take it apart.
