For those of us who don't have decades of experience/mistakes under their belt (and who got their ticket in the era of the internet and pre-made coax), small things like this (which have big impacts) are lost to convenience. For every person like me who freely admits that I dont know the correct way to solder a PL-259 and thought pre-made was 'good enough', there are probably 10 who are too afraid to come forward to admit it. You should be happy that some of us /want/ to make their own coax instead of the premade stuff. Isn't that keeping a little part of the 'real' hobby alive. I'll get off your lawn now. Im just a young whippersnapper.
