Topband: F fitting adaptors

[ZR]

Ive been using those adapters since the 80's when they first showed up and 
all were imports I believe. Used outdoors they dont all weather well 
externally but have made reliable connections even when on the old RCS-4 for 
20+ years and shielded from direct percipitation. Some appear pitted as in 
old pot metal!

The only problems Ive had were from tightening too tight with pliers that 
the outer shell popped loose. Another was on RG-6 feeding an 80M sloper at 
up to1200W for many years with no problem... it was a temporary antenna with 
no tape on the connectors that survived about 13 years until the cheap store 
bought center insulator/balun fell apart thanks to plain old steel eyebolts.
