Last week I started to rework my 40 meter folded Marconi vertical antenna. I
took apart what I had. This included a N right angle connector. When I was
hooking it up to dry test position and fit of connectors,cables the straight N
connector wouldn't go into the chassis N connector. The connector looked
different. The center Pin of the right angle N connector had come out and was
on the center pin of the N connector . This was no $1 connector. It had the
Military number on It UG-27 A/U. I used this all winter. There was a strange
symptom THAT the the SWR would slowly creep upward when the key was down.
Maybe this was the cause, as It sure doesn't do it now. I still have the
connector but I am not going to sell it to anyone else. Maybe that is why the
guy at the hamfest sold it to me. I picked the commercial unit over the Chinese
commie stuff, who would have known.
