Re: [TowerTalk] Reuse PL-259

["Joe K2UF" <joe@k2uf.com>]

I have the same thing in my scrap bucket.  I bring them to the recycler
along with old coax, old antenna parts etc. once a year.  They do not like
coax so I strip it.  Almost pays for the gas to get it there.  

My wife is happy when the buckets go out.  That is the biggest plus ;o)

Is there no way to "boil" off the solder? Or dissolve it? I have a whole
bucket full of PL-259s with 1/4" coax sticking out. Seems like a waste.
There's a future here for someone.

It's not possible to re-use a properly soldered UHF male connector!
