Excellent video and well done too, would love to see more on other aspects of this great hobby, either station stuff like this one, or operating. In the internet age guys like you and Randy, K7AGE on YouTube have become my online virtual Elmers. Thanks and 73,
Ick -- good idea but horrid workmanship. I've installed 83-1SP (aka 'PL259) and many other RF connectors on coaxial cable for > 40 years. For the past 20, on RG-58, I just use pn 83-58FCP plugs. No soldering, holds the cable better than anything else, and cost is about the same as 83-1SP-1050 + UG-175 (aka 'reducer').
