There are a lot of old wives tails about UHF connectors. As many have
stated the loss introduced by the splices on HF is negligible. If they were
as lossy on HF as I have read on the interweb, than my connectors would be
pretty warm after a RTTY contest. For splicing cables I would worry more
about the quality of the PL-259s and the quality of the barrel plus the
weatherproofing.

Just wondering because I am having to redo the feedline from my shack to
my tower (about 160 feet), and can avoid buying new coax by using
several pieces with PL-259s in between.
