I'm in the process of building a vertical phased antenna system for 80m and 160m. I am looking to purchase some crimp type connectors to build the phasing lines but have not found any. RF Parts does not have them.
Somewhere online, it was suggested I use the typical RG8 /213 crimp-on connector instead and wonder if this is OK? I do know that the center conductor is smaller in diameter than common RG8/213 cable. Would this make a difference? It seems to me that in the past I did use the standard PL259 and soldered the center conductor and braid, but I'd rather use crimp-on type connectors instead. Any thoughts or other sources for RG11 type PL259 connectors? I did try google and eBay, but they all ended up showing either RG6 or 'N' type connectors.
