My owl, who looks true north, uses only Amphenol PL259's when terminating coax. Maybe this should be a forbidden subject. PS I use a butane torch when I solder PL259's and most customers like the job I do. 73 Craig Craig Clark K1QX Radioware PO Box 209 107 Fitzgerald Rd Rindge NH 03461 603 899 6957 www.radio-ware.com
