[Antennas] 80m dipole center connectors?

[Pastor-kc1di]

Hi Paul ,=0D
I always had good sucess with the old (what I called bulkhead type center
connectors) Believe they were sold by the original Hy-Gain Company and we
used they in the Military.  They were very strong and look a bit like a
metal tri-angle with a zillion bolts and nuts around the edges.  But they
were strong. =0D

I'm in the process of building 2 new 80m dipoles. At a height of 110' and=

125' respectively, they are at right angles to each other. Given I'm feed=

these with RG213, I wonder what suggestions I might gather from the group=

about the choice of center connector. I have some older (but brand new)=0D

weight of 110' of coax hanging on the connector. Your thoughts would be=0D
