[TowerTalk] RG6 flooded cable issue

[Richard (Rick) Karlquist]

I have seen this phenomenon many times with RG8 using type N connectors
The only solution I know for that case is to switch to UHF connectors 
don't allow the dielectric to move relative to the center conductor.
Does anyone else understand this behavior?
