[TowerTalk] Rugged Connectors

[Gary]

The local radio club is opting to replace the ancient feedlines we use at Field Day. It looks like we will be going to RG-8X. I have crimped many connectors and have the proper tools to do so.

I am looking for a way to make the connector attachment to the coax truly rugged! I have seen "manufactured" cables the have a strain relief where the cable and connector come together. Is there a way for the home user to do something similar?

Thanks and 73,
