No. You are not stupid! The cheap PL259's would give you this problem. My
solution has been either buy the connectors from RF Davis or buy the amp
connector which costs about $2.50 a piece from Craig at Radio-Ware.com

Subject: [TowerTalk] Installing a PL-259 on Buryflex
Hello All
Well I spent over an hour trying to install a stupid PL-259 on the end of
Buryflex coax and I never did get it on ( it started raining again). I have
done this before but this time it seems that the center conductor is too big
to go into the pin of the PL-259 the strands fold back and keep the pl259
from going all the way on. I tried to tin the center conductor of the coax
then it differently was too big!!!
I fell real stupid that I can't get a simple PL-259 solder on to a piece of
coax. anyone else have this problem? are there any tricks to this ? or am I
just real real stupid!!!
