[TowerTalk] Banana jack feed thru

[Steve]

Thanks for the ideas everyone.

I did take a look at the usual sources for things of this nature 
(Mouser, DigiKey, Pomona, others) but turned up nothing. McMaster Carr 
was a good idea (thanks) but still nothing.

Someone help me here . . . wouldn't the use of a pair of coax bulkhead 
barrels introduce an impedance bump given the metallic outer surface of 
each barrel?
