some folks make a full run of coax from antenna to shack entrance, with no barrel connectors in between, to reduce signal loss, particularly at 6 meters and above. Before jumping on this last bit of advice, people would be well advised to search the Towertalk archive for "connector" and "loss", because the subject has been covered fully, exhaustively and even (gasp) quantitatively. In short connector loss, particularly at HF, has been much overblown. 73, Pete N4ZR The World HF Contest Station Database was updated on June 5, 2004 2728 contest stations at www.pvrc.org/WCSD/WCSDsearch.htm _______________________________________________ See: http://www.mscomputer.com for "Self Supporting Towers", "Wireless Weather Stations", and lot's more.
