[TowerTalk] connectors

Hi Ted,

That's what I use (on small cables). I just ordered and received 
another 50 of them. Ed always makes sure his connectors are 
properly made.

After making up some phasing harnesses for a six meter system, 
the only connector I hate profusely is the N connector that I need 
to fit my M2 beams. I know many VHF people are a bit "retentive" 
about connectors, but even on two meters a PL-259/SO-239 isn't 
any problem!  Curses to the people who insist on N connectors 
below upper VHF.
