[aprssig] Re: power poles..........

[Kurt A. Freiberger]

Take another pair of power poles with no wires and place onto the 
connector.  Then wrap the whole thing in Scotch 23+, and apply a liberal 
coating of ScotchKote.  That'll keep the water out when you're not using 
it.  When you need it, simply slit the outside, and peel everything off.
