Bill,
Get a tube (for your calking gun, if you prefer) of silicone sealer at your 
local builder's supply store.  It will seal this connection, and can be cut 
away later if needed.  I would tape over the metal connections at the 
antenna itself first, as the vinegar in the silicone can corrode those 
connections.  The silicone will fill the void between the braid of the coax 
and its outer jacket far better than anything else I have tried.
