Hi, all.

As you know, I am awaiting some antenna help, and once that help arrives, I 
should be able to get some antennas up here at the Michigan qth.

I'm planning to use the Diamond X200A and Alpha Delta DXCC that I used out 
in Colorado for VHF/UHF, and HF respectively.

I also purchased a Carolina Windom 160 compact from Radioworks, which I plan 
to run at right angles to the DXCC if I can, which hopefully may help me out 
a bit on the lower bands--namely 80 and 160.  Actually, I have never been on 
160, which is also part of the motivation for purchasing the Carolina Windom 
160 compact.

Anyway, I know this topic has been discussed before, but can't remember how 
the issue was resolved.

What is the best way to seal outdoor coax connections?  I have some Radio 
Shack coax seal here, plus some electrical tape, but I can't remember 
whether it's best to put the coax seal on first, followed by the tape, or 
put the tape on first, followed by the coax seal.

I just want to do things right the first time, if you know what I mean.
