I'm not Joel, but I'm going to respond.
Although I've previously argued that UHF connectors are fine for HF
applications and type N isn't necessary, that doesn't mean that type N is
unsuitable.
If type N is suitable for high power (I've used them at 1.5KW on 2M) on
VHF-UHF, then why would they not be suitable at HF?
As a matter of fact I do use them on HF on my 1/2" Heliax feedline and will use
them again when I get around to replacing the lines with 7/8" Heliax. I have
also used N-connector Transco relays for antenna selection. The only downside
to them is that they are 28V (and expensive unless you find them surplus)
Of course they have to be assembled and mated correctly, but that is true of
any connector.

Joel,
How do you respond to this blurb from a
"DX Engineering" guru?
