Tom,
Thanks for the info. That explains why my center
conductors were turning black.
I have just pulled apart a 12 months old connection and
found that the silver plating, despite the Noalox on the
braid, was shiny and clean, just like the day it was
installed. It is a pain to plate the center conductor, but
seems to be worth it.
73,
George
