All, Thanks for the advice. When I left it yesterday, my feed line coming out of my soffit was run down over a metal roof and then laid a bit over the ground before going up to the antenna. I hadn’t pulled the slack back into the attic yet. It’s good LMR 400 direct burial coax so I didn’t

Sprays, coatings etc. are fine if you plan on never taking the connector loose. If you apply a layer of 88 tape first, fine, spray and coat as much as you want. If you want to take the joint apart, just use a knife & cut thru the coating and tape and peal apart. But with the spray alone (or

When making outdoor connections, use a little silicone grease on the outside of the fitting then wrap 3m 88 tape 1 layer thick around the fitting. Next add a layer or 2 of the 3m 2228 Tape then outer layers of 88. Always use 3M 88 tape outside. It is rated a higher temp than 33. Never use a

In case you havent, a tape such as this  https://www.3m.com/3M/en_US/p/d/b5456/  in Houston is necessary or your coax will go bad very very quick. Tape it around the PL connectors. There are other kinds, but this one you can find at Lowes or HD pretty easy. On Friday, October 14, 2022
