[TowerTalk] PL 259 crimp connectors for RG 400

[Roger (K8RI) on TT]

If those fine wires expand, I simply place them between my thumb and 
forefinger and twist.
So far it has always worked, but there is a small learning curve.

I found if I cut the centre conductor to length with cable cutters (as opposed to my wire cutters) with the dielectric still attached, it was much less likely to expand.   (Or if it is expanding a small amount, the current batch of connectors I have still fit the cable I am using (:  )
