CAUTION
If splicing tape is not applied correctly, water can get into the coax con-
nections and affect the performance and reliability of your antenna.
e. Apply splicing tape as follows (
(1) Make sure the fittings and coax are clean and dry.
(2) Apply Scotch 130C Linerless Rubber Splicing Tape with the tacky side
up.
(3) Stretch tape and apply half-lapped to form a smooth, void-free splice.
Wrap tightly in and around the area where the connection is made.
Make sure the joint is fully covered, but do not seal up against the
bulkhead plate.
