Larry, K6FSB and N2MS just gave you the correct answer!
You'll need the correct stripping and crimping tools, and the right snap-and-seal connectors. It's a one-time, low-cost investment that will save you much time and frustration. Once you try it, you'll see. There is nothing "sacred" about soldering. Think about the billions of crimped F-connectors in all the CATV, etc. systems in the world. Also, the sticky is "flooding compound". It's your friend, as nasty as it is. :-) 73, Mike www.w0btu.com On Sun, Dec 4, 2016 at 2:03 PM, Renee K6FSB <k6fs...@gmail.com> wrote: > I think the best method is F connector, snap and seal, if you must have a > 259 use an adapter. > > Renée, K6FSB > > On 2016-12-04 11:50 AM, Larry via Topband wrote: > >> ... i have a roll of CATV 75 ohm cable. it is the kind with a double >> shield. aluminum wrap over tinned copper shield. there is some kind of >> sticky on the shield and i dont think that i can solder efficiently to it. >> > _________________ Topband Reflector Archives - http://www.contesting.com/_topband
