[TowerTalk] PL259 Insertion Loss?

Remember that the UHF connector design is probably one of the very first 
coax cable connectors designed.  Did we even know about impedance bumps 
and insertion loss back then?  I have to add that a 0.3 deb insertion 
loss is unlikely to overheat a connector as it is not a resistive loss 
in the connector.  OTOH I don't think I've seen a UHF connector even in 
bad shape that had that much insertion loss at HF.
