Hi Ray,
I've used Amphenol 83-1SP PL-259 connectors on RG-11 at least
100 times and they're always 100% trouble free. I'm not aware of a
suitable crimp RG-11 connector. I'm referring the standard RG-11
with a copper center conductor and shield and not cable TV RG-11.

Subject: Topband: PL259 type connectors for RG11
I'm in the process of building a vertical phased antenna system for 80m and
160m. I am looking to purchase some crimp type connectors to build the
phasing lines but have not found any. RF Parts does not have them.
Somewhere online, it was suggested I use the typical RG8 /213 crimp-on
connector instead and wonder if this is OK? I do know that the center
conductor is smaller in diameter than common RG8/213 cable. Would this make
a difference? It seems to me that in the past I did use the standard PL259
and soldered the center conductor and braid, but I'd rather use crimp-on
type connectors instead.
Any thoughts or other sources for RG11 type PL259 connectors? I did try
google and eBay, but they all ended up showing either RG6 or 'N' type
connectors.
