[TowerTalk] mounting barrel connectors on lightning bulkhead

[Richard Thorne]

Go to your local hard ware store and ask for conduit hole punches.  Thats what
I used for a recent antenna project.  The punches are not cheap, I paid $25 or
so for a 3/4" punch.  But it made for a nice neat hole.  I think the investment
will be worth your while, as you'll use it over and over.
