Weatherproofing antennas<br />
26<br />
Most antenna problems<br />
are caused by coaxial<br />
cable connections that<br />
loosen due to vibration,<br />
allowing moisture to<br />
penetrate the connector<br />
interface.<br />
Weatherproof all<br />
outdoor connections.<br />
Weatherproofing can be done by applying several layers of rubber vulcanizing tape over the connection <strong>and</strong> then covering that with good<br />
(low temperature, UV resistant) electrical tape.<br />
Drainage is very important with unpressurized radomes. Make sure that the drain hole is on the bottom <strong>and</strong> that it has not been blocked<br />
during installation.
