[TowerTalk] Installing a PL-259 on Buryflex

["Rick Bullon" <kc5ajx@hotmail.com>]

Hello All
Well I spent over an hour trying to install a stupid PL-259 on the end of 
Buryflex coax and I never did get it on ( it started raining again). I have 
done this before but this time it seems that the center conductor is too big 
to go into the pin of the PL-259 the strands fold back and keep the pl259 
from going all the way on. I tried to tin the center conductor of the coax 
then it differently was too big!!!
I fell real stupid that I can't get a simple PL-259 solder on to a piece of 
coax. anyone else have this problem? are there any tricks to this ? or am I 
just real real stupid!!!
