[BULK] - RE: [TowerTalk] Re: Cutting braid

[Bill Aycock]

I don't know who wrote the second statement below (if you have to ask--) 
but it is pretty stupid.  I think this attitude usually indicates either a 
lack of understanding, or an inability to communicate. I KNOW that "not 
pre-tinning the braid " does NOT, of itself, cause TVI and that pre-tinning 
does not prevent it..  I also know that anyone with this attitude will not 
get close to my rigs.
I invite anyone to try to convince me otherwise.  I am asking.
and- yes, I have made a LOT of good Coax to PL 259 joints in the 52 years 
since I was first licensed.
