edges to avoid damage. A kinked line indicates damage, so the damaged piece must be

removed and a splice installed to couple the pieces together.

3.4.3. Environmental Seals

The connections at the antenna and the transmission line must be weather-sealed. This

is best accomplished by completely wrapping each connection with Scotch #70 tape (or

equivalent), pulling the tape tight as you wrap to create a sealed boot. Then, for

mechanical protection over the sealed layer, completely wrap the connection again with

Scotch #88 (or equivalent). Tape ends must be cut rather than torn—a torn end will

unravel and work loose in the wind. Use plenty of tape for protection against water

penetration and the premature replacement of the transmission line.
