[TowerTalk] PL258s and Double Males are OK!

[i4jmy@iol.it]

Targeting to last weekend of october it's enough to do on 6 bands.....
I suspect that VE1 does it for his 80m and 160m non rotable antennas, 
and finally cable clamps and hose clamps are often much more reliable 
to feed antennas than loosened and moisted PL259 & SO239.

73,
Mauri I4JMY

PS I bought used 7/8, 7/16, LC etc. etc for less money than new PL 
connectors
