[TowerTalk] Wanted: special Amphenol PL-259s

Hello all,

I am looking to purchase 5 or 6 special Amphenol PL-259 connectors.
The Amphenol part number is 83-851 and these connectors are what
most call "3-piece connectors."

With these connectors, it is not necessary (or possible) to solder
the shield to the connector; the rear piece of the connector screws
in to the main body, establishing the shield connection.

I am looking to use these with 75-ohm matching sections of RG-6
type coax for use with loop antennas for Field Day.

Thanks for any help.

Brad, N9EN
