Thanks guys, lots of good suggestions and ideas there.  I was thinking 
silicone but I was also told that might react with the jacket of the coax, 
any truth to that or should we forward it to the MythBusters??  HI HI

I saw liquid electrical tape in Lowe's not too long ago, thought about 
buying a can but didn't need it at the time.  That would be another good 
option!  I have been thinking of buying some to try it out.  I bought some 
off brand stuff a couple years back and it would dry up and crack after a 
while, I'm assuming its not UV resistant, and that may be true for all 
brands of it.  A couple layers of Super 33+ over the liquid tape after it's 
dry should help with that problem.

One way or another it will get sealed up!

And yes, frustrating as all get out to order parts from them.  Last week 
their website was messed up and the shopping cart wouldn't add anything, 
then that started working again on Tuesday and I got an order placed.  I 
received the confirmation on Weds morning and was told it would "ship out 
sometime next week" and here we are the end of the following week and still 
no charge to my debit card and still no shipment.  This is getting me a bit 
hot under the collar, was hoping to have the parts before this weekend since 
I have time and decent weather to assemble and test, figured two weeks would 
have been long enough but I guess not.
