For 160 m. frequencies, connectors on hardline that preserve the geometry (Z) of the line aren't needed. You can dress the line (i.e. strip back the jacket and dielectric) and make connections to transmitters and loads with copper strap that's wrapped around the center and shield and held with brass nuts and bolts or hose clamps. Use brass clamps if working with aluminum.
