You can use an F connectors at the ends of the cable, attach it to a chassis F 
at the end you wand to short and a F-to-PL259 at the other end. Just don't try 
to solder, it doesn't work as, usually the shield is a combination of Al foil 
and a stainless steel braid. I purchased a bag of (50) F connectors and at 
mounting tool at Lowes recently for a bargain price. (I think they are phasing 
out the product).

Hi,

It is near of topic here...maybe someone can help.

I have few meters of RG-6 coax cable...about 100 m.

We need Coax Stubs for our contest station...we are planning work in next ARRL 
CW in Feb.

Our Max Power is 500 watts.

I have all information about K2TR coax stubs designs.

I am worry about my RG-6 cable...the braid is Aluminum (Al) instead of Cooper 
(Cu), so, i can´t solder the braid. I think the solution is an adapter to make 
a good contact with the shield side of the PL-259...

Any tips or ideas?

Thanks,

73....Douglas, CO8DM
