[TowerTalk] Fwd: Fw: Coax Stubs...

[Hans Hammarquist]

You can use an F connectors at the ends of the cable, attach it to a chassis F at the end you wand to short and a F-to-PL259 at the other end. Just don't try to solder, it doesn't work as, usually the shield is a combination of Al foil and a stainless steel braid. I purchased a bag of (50) F connectors and at mounting tool at Lowes recently for a bargain price. (I think they are phasing out the product).

Hi,

It is near of topic here...maybe someone can help.

I have few meters of RG-6 coax cable...about 100 m.

We need Coax Stubs for our contest station...we are planning work in next ARRL CW in Feb.

Our Max Power is 500 watts.

I have all information about K2TR coax stubs designs.

I am worry about my RG-6 cable...the braid is Aluminum (Al) instead of Cooper (Cu), so, i can´t solder the braid. I think the solution is an adapter to make a good contact with the shield side of the PL-259...

Any tips or ideas?

Thanks,

73....Douglas, CO8DM
