yep    hamfests,,,,,the best place to get connectors,,,,,

1.   used amphenols  from that guy's pile of parts for $6
2.  surplus good connectors still in the brown wrapper with the 
contract # on them

even the new amphenols come from the far east....
i'll bet they met their stringent requirements... "right"

It took me a while but I found a vendor who sells 4 piece BNC 
compression connectors for RG8X ...that actually fit,...as i try to 
use bnc for everything below 500 watts. Most bnc connectors don't 
properly fit Rg8X.

Jim it seems more than 5 year you went west "young man"...

I've got to add that reading this reflector has added a ton of 
clarity to reading Maxwell's old QST SWR articles,,,,


to you all.....Tnx for the lessons
