I can't report on anything approaching that time frame, but the obvious
question is, what brand of connectors? When I got back on the air in
2003 after a LONG time off I stocked up on lots of tees, elbows,
barrels, and inter-series adapters, nearly all of them unbranded. Over
the next 5-6 years they gave me no end of trouble, all poorly
manufactured in a variety of ways.
I learned the hard way, dumped them all, and stocked up on branded
stuff, mostly Amphenol or those made for the hard line I am using, but
also used surplus MIL parts at hamfests. I've had no issues at all with
any of them. The PL-259s are all type 83-1SP.
