My one concern, is the F-connector chassis-mount jacks. The jacks themselves seem rather impervious to moisture when a good F-plug with O-ring is kept plugged in. But the nuts for the jacks seem to rust really fast, really surprisingly fast, I end up replacing the jack and nut every year or two wherever they are exposed to weather.
