[TowerTalk] Tool for F-connector holes

[charlie carroll]

I also recommend using the 4-hole flange connectors.  No more problems 
with spinning connectors.  I bought from 2 different ebay 
sources....try2best2011 and rfbat.  I prefer the connectors from 
try2best2011.  They have a slight champher to the dielectric at the 
center conductor.  Makes the mating easier.  The prices are about the 
same, roughly $2.50-2.80 per connector.
