Will an Andrews L45Z for 7/8" heliax work with Eupen
7/8" heliax?

My gut feeling is no since the Eupen heliax outer
conductor OD is slightly smaller than that of the
Andrews equivalent.

However, of anyone has successfully used an L45Z on
Eupen 7/8" heliax (Eupen part number is EC5-50-A),
then I would be interested in your feedback.

Note that in my application the cable is not under
longtudinal load at the location of the splice, so the
splice will not have to support a mechanical load
along its axis.

73,

Jeff
