Hello Dan, Most hardline CATV connectors I have seen have robust, high current capacity contacts with the hardline shield, and center conductor. The center conductors are often cinched down with a he
The Tesla Amateur Radio club guys, with a web presence, and incredible antenna farm pictures, could probably offer first hand experience on the niceties of a swamp, or slough based HF station. Google
