[TenTec] [Boatanchors] Bird Termaline 50 Ohm load - 82A - Need adapter

[Price Smith]

Carl,

There were many connectors used on RG-17. I use RG-17 for my main feedline 
with HN connectors.
The Amphenol catalog RF-2 is a good source of information. That was 
published in the 70s.. The first page
has some great info on connectors and cable.
If anyone would like a copy, I will scan it and e-mail it to them...
