[Elecraft] OT construction question

2020-08-16 Thread Victor Rosenthal 4X6GP
What do you think about epoxy-ing an Anderson Power Pole connector into a 3mm aluminum panel? Would it be durable? I know there is a metal dohickey to mount an APP to a panel, but it's not available here and I don't want to wait weeks. Or should I just go with a grommet and pigtail? -- 73, V

Skeeter Hunters, Wow! That was a blast! Even though band conditions were far from stellar (I'm trying to be kind!), there seemed to be a lot of activity - and that's because of all of YOU! Without you, the Skeeter Hunt would be a big nothing. All of you out there make it what it is - and I'm so gr
