[Elecraft] FIXED--was NOT the feedline

[Charlie T]

I have successfully used a method of water-proofing a coax splice by first coating the outside of the connectors with silicone (di-electric) grease, then wrapping about 18" X 5" (or?) piece of plain plastic garbage bag around the junction.
The next step is to wrap that with several layers of good electrical tape extending the wrap about 2 inches past the plastic.  I do NOT like the scotch stuff since the adhesive gets gooey over time.  Believe it or not, the cheap chicom stuff Harbor Freight sells is quite good.  I have opened up fittings done this way this over ten years later and the connection is bright & shiny with no hint of water corrosion.
