Nice to have a strain relief, but I've yet to see a PL259 barrel that
can withstand the casual abuse of FD "help" - dropping on the end,
stepping on it, dragging thru the mud, etc. Once bent, they need
replaced. There isn't any reason IMO the threaded section can't be made
much thicker for about $0.05. Anybody know of a source?

The local radio club is opting to replace the ancient feedlines we use at Field
Day. It looks like we will be going to RG-8X. I have crimped many connectors
and have the proper tools to do so.
I am looking for a way to make the connector attachment to the coax truly rugged! I have
seen "manufactured" cables the have a strain relief where the cable and
connector come together. Is there a way for the home user to do something similar?
Thanks and 73,
