G’day

About five years I discovered this fool-proof and brilliant way to solder 
PL-259s invented by Bill Maxon N4AR who taught this to Tim K3LR. Tim uses this 
method throughout his contest station and did a great job of documenting it – 
see http://www.k3lr.com/engineering/pl259/ and it has totally changed my angry 
and worried attitude towards soldering PL-259s.

The key component is Amphenol 83-1SP connectors. The connector body is silver 
and the shell is nickel and you can buy them from Mouser or DX Engineering.
