I have never had a problem with soldering PL-259’s and I have been putting them
on since 1959! I know how to soldering them correctly.

Thanks to all who took the time to reply to my email and those who offered me
direct assistance. I have found a 3 element triangle array from Hi-z from a
fellow YCCC member so I got lucky. Now to install it and see how it works!
Thanks

A BNC connector has a Ø.050 pin and when mated property an N connector has a
Ø.120 center pin.

When you look at an N connector, specifically the center pin - remember that
the N connector center pin is the same as the center pin of a BNC connector.

I'm not surprised and the results seem reasonable.

I've been shopping for them. You need a minimum of 1 1/4" depth for
the PL-259. That rules out all the cheap ones. For ~$300

Hi Jim,
A 13-30 DIN connector is like a flange connector used with high
power transmitters (e.g., television transmitters and 50 KW AM),
but it uses threads rather than a flange.

Hi Paul,
I'm only the messenger! I'm very suspicious of that NOAA forecast,
although its disappointing that there is scant evidence of Cycle 25
activity other than occasional very weak, tiny, very short lived
opposite polarity sunspots.
The future isn't what it used to be!

And that's how PL259's should be installed...excellent. Do that and you won't
have problems with them. They're great connectors if installed correctly. Most
don't...
I have no argument for a Type N over a propery installed PL259 on braided
cables..
A high wattage iron is important. Want
Since you asked. In my antenna system I have about 500 PL-259 connectors.
99% of them are King Silver Teflon connectors. I built the system in 1988 and
1989. So almost all of it is 30 years old. To Date I have had three failures
all due
to water getting into the connectors cable and one rusted
>>W6NL asked me this question - would you run 1500 watts with BNC connectors?
It depends on the duty cycle, length of transmission and vswr.
Brief contester type transmissons at 50% d/c into a load with Z = line
characteristic Z is probably okay.

Frank,
You are ruining my plans for a Dxepidition somewhere nice for my 50th bday
in 2021.
Might as well save the money and stay at home!
