I think it would be a good idea for FR24 to supply 30cm or so of tape in the kit they send out, i put mine up without any.

EDIT. And now I got confirmation that we have tape in stock and it will be included in next delivery.
Sometimes having no tape at all is best. This will keep the water from staying near the plug and just drain down/evaporate.
If you have a proper plug, which i think the FR24 antenne/cable has, no tape should be required.

With self amalgamating tape it makes no difference where you start as it fuses into a single lump, your advice though is good if you are using ordinary electrical tape as it will ensure that water cannot run down between the layers, the important thing to remember with self amalgamating tape is to stretch it so it shrinks down onto the connector and cable, I have removed 20-year old tape and the connector looked like new (and that is in British weather!)

It might be best if the renter, family members apply since they are on the ground to install and maintain the system.
I believe another host is on the Lingayen Gulf and it is F-RPUB1.

A new big batch of receivers is leaving our factory this week to hosts around the world.
Cars = already shipped
Green = to be shipped this week
Missing on map is Tanzania, Mozambique, South Korea and a couple more special deliveries.
Most receivers for Argentina are stuck in customs. We are looking for a solution.
