My strategy is no coax connectors out on a boom. Feedpoint ferrite
chokes are in a PVC junction box with coax in thru a watertight gland
and two glands out for short #10 leads to the feedpoint. So no exposed
solder or connectors or nuts on plastic to loosen.
Not a bad idea, it's how we construct stack switches here. It's way
easier to weatherproof an in-line splice than a panel jack.
I've never figured out how to really make an S0239 watertight. It rains
a bit here in Seattle.
I leave a way for a little moisture to leave the box. My box cover faces
down. I leave the cover gasket off, and I don't tighten the cover
excessively.
