Hi,

Thanks for help and suggestions, as well as all the help you've provided in
the past. Really appreciate it.

What sealant would you suggest ?
Just gunk up with RTV, or is there something neater and just as effective ?

Regards,
Bob

Hello:

This will be my first outdoor receiving antenna project.

For running coax between a receive only antenna (30 MHz), and the
receiver in the house, what are the typical connectors to specify.

Some of these connectors will be outdoors, of course, and this is a
consideration as they will be essentially inaccessible, and I would
like them to remain tight, functional, etc. for a long time..

I guess for 30 MHz, I don't need the higher freq. fancy N or F,
etc., but should I go with BNC's, PL-259/259, or...? Why ?

How does one protect outdoor coax connectors ? Gunk them up with RTV
or...?

Are therer "better quality" ones avail. than what one sees in the
Universl cat., such as Silver plated, etc. ? Worth getting ?

Use whichever is more convenient for you to use of the 50 ohm variety
and that would be the BNC or 259. The F type is a cheap connector and
the N is more expensive.

The silver plating maybe overkill but the soldered units are usually
better then crimped.

Outdoor connectors should have a sealant put on them.
