[TenTec] Lowest loss matching an antenna for my Argonaut 509

[ken.d.brown at hawaiiantel.net]

"N" connectors, when properly installed have much less loss than so 
called "UHF" (PL259/SO239) type connectors. At HF the loss may not be 
much for a brand new, shiny PL259, and the extra care and expense 
needed to install "N" connectors may not be worthwhile. With age though 
a type "N" connector is likely to hold up much better, since they have 
neoprene (or something like it) seals. Ask a UHF or microwave 
enthusiast what they think of "UHF" connectors. What is your complaint 
about "N" connectors?
