[CVCC] new PL259

FYI, I copied this from "tower talk". Being an om who hates installing 
PL259s, looks good to me.

A few weeks ago, Ian, GM3SEK suggested looking into a clamp-type UHF/PL-259

connector (not crimp) that offered easy assembly and a weather-resistant
backing for outdoor installations.  The only soldering required is for the
inner conductor.

I ordered a dozen connectors through Newark Electronics and the shipment
arrived today.  I had a RG-214 jumper that needed shortening so I tried the
new connectors this morning.

These connectors are specific to the larger RG-213/214 and LMR400 class of
cables.  However Multicomp offers a smaller clamp-style connector for RG-58.
