Yes Mike... I'll put my hand up if this article I have here is of any use. It's an old yellowed original bulletin # 37383C by Andrew Communication, with explicit instructions on preparing & fitting N connectors to LDF4-50A Heliax. I did a quick "search" on their web page, but it didn't come up. It may take some time to iron out the crinkles, but I'll have a go just for the practice.
Also, I've been given permission to copy 3 pages from a VHF group's news letter, where one ingenious fella fitted a RG213 N connector to 1/2" Heliax..pixs and all. It just might be worth a spot in the archives and someone might like to sweep it and see if there are any impedance bumps. I have never uploaded anything to your pages, so may need some help. 73 John/VK4JKL Mike Morris WA6ILQ wrote: > Repeater-builder received an interesting article request... > Too many of the folks that have been "doing it" for a while > forget that we all had to start somewhere. > <<<<<<<<<<<<SNIP>>>>>>>>>>> > > The W4ZT article that the sender is referring to is at > <http://www.repeater-builder.com/antenna/w4zt-superflex/superflex-pl-connector.html> > > Anybody up to doing one set of photos for 1/2" cable and a second set > for 7/8" cable?
