Hi guys, ive had to extend the cable to my antenna, the connection joint is outside, whats the best way to weather proof it as ive wrapped a carryer bag around and taped in the past but when i come to undo it theres water/condensation so i havent done that this time, ive put it in a plastic box but i think the cold is just getting condensation in it? |

Seconded. A couple of years ago I took down a VHF vertical which had been on the roof for 16 years. It had a pigtail on it so was connected with a PL259 to PL259 wrapped in amalgamating tape and then overwrapped with vinyl tape. The vinyl tape had gone brittle and flaked off when I took it down but the amalgamating tape was intact and when I removed it the connectors looked as good as the day it had gone up. Remember to wrap it the right way round starting at the end which will be lowermost when the antenna is up so you don't end up with ridges on each turn of the tape that water can sit on and to pull the tape tight on every turn as that's what helps it seal to the turn below it..
