[Elecraft] Power Pole Query

[Jack Brindle]

After hearing the raves about the Anderson power Pole connectors (and 
noting their use on the KPA-100) i decided to pick up some of the 
things along with a power distribution kit at the DX Convention over 
the weekend. The connectors are supposed to be used with fairly large 
wire, from 12 to 16 AWG. My question is how people handle connecting 
the things to smaller size wire such as is commonly used with 
barrel-style connectors. That wire is too small to nicely crimp/solder 
into the Power Pole, even if doubling it. Should I just go ahead and do 
that, or is an adapter needed, or just what should I do?

The nice compact size, price and availability of the connectors is 
really nice, but it is a bit of a challenge to assemble them with 
anything but large wire!
