[TowerTalk] shrink tubing & coax connectors

[N3XX - Tim Heger]

I find a propane torch to be a simpler way to do it.  There are no power 
cords to mess with.
Just keep passing the flame across the heat shrink for a few seconds at a 
time, and it will shrink right down.  I always start at one end of the 
shrink and work gradually toward the other end, so as not to leave any 
bubbles.

73, Tim - N3XX
