-------------------------------

To help fight the water-in-the-line thing, I prearrange for some
enclosed means for attaching the F-plugged coax in an outdoor antenna.
By this I mean the connector is NOT facing any water dripping on it as
it's below or inside a drip shield. Just a thought.

For me RTV or taping is too problematic in freezing weather and likely
has to be done w/ bare hands.
