Coaxseal and good electrical tape. LOL, I had one tower where the pigeons
would peck at the connectors, so I added metal foil tape over the
connection. That took care of that!

[WISPA] Best Practice: Sealing Coax Connectors WAS: Hyperlink Coax Jumpers

2009-03-05 Thread Mark Nash
The only thing we use to seal these connectors is fusion tape from GB.  I
can get it from the local hardware store.  I suspect that this is a problem.

How is everyone sealing connectors on towers?  This one particular site is
at 3100ft so it gets wind and cold.  Snow & ice on it for a few 2-week
periods per year.  Lots of rain during the winter.  It's been the worst for
coax failures.
