Has anyone tried RG-8X PL-259 crimp connectors on RG-6?

Amphenol, Amphenol, and Amphenol. Also, the old MIL-spec stuff that
can be found at most hamfests when OTs clean out their basements.
The shiny new connectors and adapters sold by vendors at hamfests are
junk -- the center conductors are flimsy, often no more than springs.
I've had cheap connectors fall apart mechanically, the dielectric of
connectors intended for soldering will sometimes melt, and so on.
These junk connectors go intermittent, or overheat with power.
