Only problem is connectors - you can't solder to the braid. So you
are limited to crimp style connectors. I would think that the crimp
style RG11 F-connector (the cheap kind that uses the cables' center
conductor as the stinger), into an F/UHF or F/N adapter would suit
most amateur purposes. >>
I use quite a lot of it around here. I use a standard PL-259, solder the
center conductor, and use a stainless steel hose clamp to secure the braid to
the fitting. The procedure looks ugly but seems to work fine.
