I was able to pickup 350 feet of "TFC-T10-500JB" CATV coax for a run to a 80m vertical I am building.. I see I.C.E. has transformers for 75-50 Ohm conversion. Good. Delivery?? Question: How can I fit
Mike & others, this was in the ARRL Contest Rate Sheet last month: Also, I believe that Davis RF will custom make connectors. Hopefully this helps. - Scott KA9FOX -- Scott Neader KA9FOX ka9fox@qth.co
Mike: that 1/2 inch 75 ohms cable is very easy to put connectors cut the cable , remove 1 inch of jacket, use a dremel or any other tool that can remove the foam insulator around 3/4 inch deep don't

I treat it just like installing a pl-259, but add a 1/2 compression coupling. Clamp the coax in one end and the pl259 in the other. Leave enough center conductor sticking out to allow soldering to t

Unfortunately I don't have a photo of the half inch coupling, although if need be I could make up a connector and shoot some photos (if I can find some half inch stuff. The compression coupling is "d
Roger, This is fine, and helpful. One question: is this coupling an RF connector with a part number and known source? Your 3/4 photos seem to indicate that it is an RF connector. 73 es TNX, Gordon Be

W4AN published the simplest plumbing solution I've seen for 3/4" hardline, back in 1995 on towertalk. You use a 1/2" female water pipe to 1/2" copper tubing adapter, with an Amphenol barrel. These ha
My book has several examples of plumbing store hardline fittings. You can do just about anything up to 1" stuff with off the shelf fittings and a barrel connector. I prefer to use reducers rather tha
