Mike,
I have had the same problem you describe with the "chassis" mount female "F"
connectors.
I am now using the PC board mounted female "F" connectors and installing
them on a small PC board where I have need of a single connector. The PC
board can then be glued to the inside of the chassis

Indeed! There are millions of miles of aluminum shield CCS (copper-clad

As per the VK1OD website chart RG-6 has less loss than anything else
shown. Matches RG-213 at 1.8 Mhz the place we are all looking at.
I can see where perhaps my twenty year old RG-6 could be improved
upon by using the quad shielded variety perhaps. Maybe more help on
receive than transmit by c
I've used lots of RG-6 over the years for transmitting. It handles full
power fine, even through F connectors (got that tip years ago from KM1H)
for various antennas 160-10m. Though most of mine is hard-wired.
Mine wasn't new either -- most scrounged from dumpster at local CATV

I know several Topbanders--and others--that are using inexpensive 75-ohm
aluminum shield CATV-style 'RG-6', even running the legal li

There's RG6, and there's RG6, and there's RG6. In other words, there are
dozens of very different cables called RG6. RG6 is not a spec, it is a
VERY generic des
Hi I will be using Comcast RG6 for my 4 square feed lines and the controller
uses UHF connectors. Would crimp-on PL259 plugs sized for RG59 cable be
