[TowerTalk] TowerTalk Digest, Vol 231, Issue 2

[Don Solberg]

You can find DIN connectors for that size heliax on Ebay.  Then get a DIN
to N connector.  I had to spice some 1 5/8" heliax and found that was the
only way I could get reasonably priced connectors.  The DIN connectors are
very easy to install.
