Amphenol, Amphenol, and Amphenol.  Also, the old MIL-spec stuff that can 
be found at most hamfests when OTs clean out their basements.

The shiny new connectors and adapters sold by vendors at hamfests are 
junk -- the center conductors are flimsy, often no more than springs.  
I've had cheap connectors fall apart mechanically, the dielectric of 
connectors intended for soldering will sometimes melt, and so on.  These 
junk connectors go intermittent, or overheat with power.
