Sure, it shouldn't happen if the op uses diligence in keeping all connectors 
tight.  But if the PL-259 becomes loose and ever-so-slightly unmates from 
the SO-239, the retention "teeth" no longer inhibit connector rotation.  Any 
lateral pressure from the cable, especially from large, inflexible cables, 
causes the SO-239 pin to rotate.
