Thanks for all the comments.  I'm well aware of nickel and silver PL-259s,
and always use the silver.  However, I just hadn't noticed SO-239s browning
like these have, where uncovered.  Maybe I've always had cheap stuff before
that didn't tarnish/burnish!  HI

Best suggestion was using wine bottle corks to protect - and enjoy
collecting them in the meantime!

END OF THREAD...  Thanks!
