[TowerTalk] Replacing station ground J-cord connectors

[Bryan Swadener]

The local box store had 'em. I used them on my grounding bus and dual rotator protector boxes:

I b'lieve I paid a buck or so each. They're not waterproof but, they're on the leeward side of my house and under the roof overhang. No noticeable water ingress. Watertight connectors are available.

I've purchased some kits of assorted sizes of these from tmart or 
banggood at great prices and can't tell the difference between them and 
other US sources at 2 - 3x the price.  Gotta wait a week or more for 
delivery.  Scroll to see other size choices.  I've used a lot of them 
for choke or balun j-boxes, rotator overtravel logic, etc.  All have 
stayed watertight so far.  Don't think they would work on corrugated 
hardline.
