[TowerTalk] Heliax Connectors

[Ryan Jairam]

YOu can go three routes:

Official method: Splice kit.  Might be expensive although they have
popped up on the internet for varying cheaper prices.

Less desirable method: N male to N female.  Cost is two connectors.
Might show a small but insignificant SWR bump.  Not really a problem
on HF.

Homebrew method:  http://www.kl7uw.com/Hardlinesplice.htm

The last method I haven't tried personally but it looks intriguing.
