I'm a bit astonished.......
After so much money and efforts to erect big stations and insure
reliability, to buy a proper connector for hardline (or heliax, cellflex
etc) is such a great matter ?
Does it have sense to deal like survivors "inventing" connectors ?
Moreover a cable has two edges, one inside but the other is near the
antennas (generally below rotators), not easily reacheable, but deserving
all the cares for weatherproofing and mechanical. The good base are proper
connectors.
Surplus market is full of professional connectors, male and female, that are
found either for large hardlines and also for "small" RG 213.
In the other edge of any RG213 pigtail, any PL259 connector can be
confortably installed.
