Don,
Not to get off topic but I saw on QRZ.com the picture of you in a lift
truck working
on your antenna. Really nice ! I recently turned 70 and although I
still climb my tower
and work on the antennas it isnt getting any easier. hihi
I wish I had one of those to use :-)
73,

Got a lot of feedback re the subject connectors and overwhelming the suggestion
was to use Amphenol parts, which I usually do (but I have a lot of inherited
connectors).
I had never paid a lot of attention to connectors for my 8, 213 and similar
coax’s, but I did note that the color of the insulator varied. After reading
specs that the Amphenol used PTFE (all of my Amphenol of a later vintage appear to be
clear insulation), I took a look a some of the right angles I had plus a pile of my
barrels. Of those NOT marked Amphenol, almost all had no readable brand or number
imprinted. I also noticed that the insulation was either white or shades of grey.
I’m not knowledgeable on plastics and am now curious to know what the white or grey material used in
these ‘other brand’ connectors might be (I’m dangerous enough to know a lot of
plastics do come in several colors).
