[Amps] alden 8101 hv connector's.

[Carl]

I used to stock Alden connectors at Radio Kit, 99.9% of hams were too cheap 
to buy them. I sold Millens so fast I couldnt get them fast enough from the 
mfg. All I ever used was a Black one a few times as the B-. Wouldnt trust my 
life or equipment with one at HV.

The PL-259/SO-239 on the 2M rig is still fine, hi-pots over 10 kv at 25 
years and counting.
