[Elecraft] Pigtails on ANT1 and ANT2 UHF Bulkhead Connectors

[john at kk9a.com]

My station has a lot of N connectors on HF and I find them easy to install
on RG8 size coax. I recently installed BNC connectors on RG8X for my RX
system, I was previously using UHF to BNC adaptors. It took me a little
while to figure them out, but they are really not difficult either. I only
purchase Amphenol and Andrew connectors.

N and BNC connectors are also more difficult to assemble.  Makes no
sense to me.
