Colleagues,
I was very happy to see the discussion regarding the use of television
feedline and F-connectors. I thought I was the only ham in the
universe using that combination. While it's true that the connectors
are not weather-resistance, a coating of black asphalt sealant* takes
care of that.
Reading the comments about possible lack of uniform impedance and
other short-comings, I remind myself that I'm an amateur, not a
professional. A few milliwatts loss doesn't concern me.
