[TenTec] FINGER TIGHT PL259

[Richards]

I live in SW Michigan, and use those on some of my antennas
in summer time.  I have the AlphaDelta switches, also, and
use a grounding buss to direct the antennas to ground when
not in use or when anticipating a lightning storm.  Ground bus
is grounded and bonded with single point grounding system, but
this takes them completely off the rig, quickly and easily.   I also
use the Amphenol brand because they seem made better.

Happy Trails.

the Alpha Delta coax switch which have long threaded connectors.
