[TowerTalk] N-Connector & Belden 9913F7

[K8RI on Tower talk]

What I have done if I didn't have the proper size center connector/pin in 
the past has been to tin the stranded center conector and then using a file, 
trim it down symetrically to fit. Then solder the pin in place. It's a bit 
inconvenient but it does work.
Normally I'd purchase the proper connector if I had the time.
