All of this is good EXCEPT that N connectors are NOT superior to good 
quality UHF connectors (Amphenol 83-1SP) for use on the HF bands. Yes, 
N-connectors are 50 ohm connectors, while UHF connectors are a bit off 
of that, but it simply does not matter below 50 MHz, and it matters very 
little below 200 MHz.
