For at least 20 years, I've been using nothing but double- or
Rick's point is well made. Take a look at these measurements from about 10
years ago.

I have used all of the above, and mostly use flooded quad shield now.
However, some cable is more

I was happy to see this video. I have put on hundreds of these
connectors, but was unsure of the proper method. I used the brute force
method and usually found myself pushing the connector against a tree and
ramming the cable in as hard as I could. And, yes, all my antenna work
is done in
