Hans,
I have used RG6 with F conectors on 160 and 80 meter directional arrays. Now
these were not permanent instalations more of testing and short term till
if keep a permanent instgalaion was achieved… but at QRO and for less then
a year ( over winter) thay were A-OK.

Subject: [TowerTalk] Fwd: F-connectors
Would it be possible to use the F-connector in a transmitting situation? I have
never thought about it that way but considering how good the connector actually
is (I think it is better than the "old, trusted UHF"-connector) it should be
possible to use it instead of PL-239 for the slimmer cables. Any idea what
power it could take?
Just my penny,

center pins (crimp and/or solder), ptfe insulation, et al.Canare makes
excellent broadcast quality cable and connectors in F and BNC.And they make the

I am wondering why F connectors are popular in amateur radio stations? Theyare
not waterproof, maybe partially if an o-ring is added. Basically asTerry noted
they are a cheap connector that has no center pin other the coaxwire. John
