I have had good luck removing the factory shrink tubing and just covering
the coil with Scotch 88 tape.  The 88 is much superior to any other tape I
have found and seems to last for a number of years before I replace it, just
to do so.  

Inclement weather doesn't seem to bother the coil SWR and it runs cool
enough for me to run 500 watts into it (the large coil), without noticeable
heat build up.

capable to lead are elected by the least capable of producing, and where the
members of society least likely to sustain themselves or succeed, are
rewarded with goods and services paid for by the confiscated wealth of a
diminishing number of producers
