[Mldxcc] Connectors needed

[tom at k5rc.com]

I have made many EXPENSIVE mistakes with Heliax connectors. If you need to install only one, you could spend hours inventing a PL259 adapter, and it may not be stable. The Andrews connectors are bullet proof and we have at least 40 of them outside.

Hi Dennis,

Best of luck finding old style 1/2" spiral LDF connectors. Haven't seen any of those around in a LONG time. 

I've been told that you can adapt a PL-259 to fit, but i've never tried. I would think a drill press would be required at minimum.
