Hi Douglas,
I have done it two ways.
1- I use an adapter for 58 size coax, It is awful tight
or
2- I use the regular 59 adapter except I fold the braid over the outer
jacket and then insert it into the adapter, It is also very tight. Then
the excess hanging out the back I un-fold and bring back around the
barrell of the 259 connector and clamp it down with a small stainless
hose clamp.

Hi contesters,
I have few meters of RG-6 coax cable...about 100 m.
We need Coax Stubs for our contest station...we are planning work in next ARRL
CW in Feb.
Our Max Power is 500 watts.
I have all information about K2TR coax stubs designs.
I am worry about my RG-6 cable...the braid is Aluminum (Al) instead of Cooper (Cu),
so, i can´t solder the braid. I think the solution is an adapter to make a good
contact with the shield side of the PL-259...
Any tips or ideas?
Thanks,
73....Douglas, CO8DM
