[TVARC] Bulkhead connectors

[Ray Fallen]

Steve...

It looks like Marty's birdcage is made of aluminum, so corrosion where the
connector is bolted shouldn't be a problem.
 But if that's a concern, a little clear silicone caulk should seal it up.

I was specifically referring to covering and protecting the "guts" of the
female SO-239 bulkhead connector.

Those little plastic caps will keep the inside of the bulkhead connector
nice and shiny.  But, as I write this, I
 occurs to me that a little squirt of Pro-Gold every now and then wouldn't
hurt either.
