The best argument for UHF connectors is they will work with a 
typical CB radio amplifier. N connectors will fail with amateur radio 
amplifiers.

My AL-1500 when driven by a 775DSP put out over 5kW of pulse 
measured power on a good meter. That's almost CB radio type 
power levels.

Now, where did that owl go? Did he head true north, to land on a 
Razor Quad or did he get his feet stuck in the rope in the vibrating 
element?
