[Boatanchors] [Heathkit] WTB:HP23 power cable female connector

[Dick KF4NS]

Mike,
Yes, actually it has too much insulation. So much that the cable is 
quite stiff. That is what put the strain on the plastic connector I 
have, along with the super cheap female pins in there.

Is the insulation on rotator cable rated for the voltages
present on those connectors?
