[Boatanchors] UHF bulkhead socket

[Dick KF4NS]

For all who asked, it is a standard SO-239 5/8 inch with 24 thread. I 
may have found a ham locally who has the nuts. Thanks for all the 
replies. Also, please excuse my expression of dissatisfaction with 
Mouser. They did not deserve that. They have been very good to me in 
the past many years. My only excuse is I had a bad day. Sorry.
