Not sure whether there is a supplier 'in the colonies' or not, but they are very interresting.

Good morning...A bit off topic I know, and I don't want to "teach my granny 
to suck eggs" but just in case there is anyone who has'nt heard of them, we 
can get PL259 plugs in the UK which fit in the same way as N types. ie the 
outer does not need soldering, it is clamped in the same way as with the N 
type. siutably assembled they can be water tight and though they are more 
expensive than the others they can be recovered and used again. They are 
branded "MULTICOMP" and are sold in the UK by Farnell under the part number 
1169714. I am sure  they will be available in the colonies too!
