 Only problem is connectors - you can't solder to the braid.  So you
 are limited to crimp style connectors.  I would think that the crimp
 style RG11 F-connector (the cheap kind that uses the cables' center
 conductor as the stinger), into an F/UHF or F/N adapter would suit
 most amateur purposes. >>

I use quite a lot of it around here.  I use a standard PL-259, solder the 
center conductor, and use a stainless steel hose clamp to secure the braid to 
the fitting.  The procedure looks ugly but seems to work fine.
