Tom, Thanks for the info. That explains why my center conductors were turning black.
I have just pulled apart a 12 months old connection and found that the silver plating, despite the Noalox on the braid, was shiny and clean, just like the day it was installed. It is a pain to plate the center conductor, but seems to be worth it. 73, George On Fri, 20 Jul 2012 10:52:55 -0400 "Tom W8JI" <[email protected]> wrote: >> MEK), mostly to get a good visual on the strands.
