[Elecraft] Antenna Question

[Dave G3WGN M6O]

Not oddball in EU, nor expensive.  Good quality ones are available from
Kabel-Kusch in Germany and Barenco in UK:
http://www.barenco.co.uk/uhf-line-socket-so239-jacks-rg213-clamp-top-hat-compression-body-solder-pin-165425. 
China RF do some good ones via Fleabay too.
We use these extensively in our 6Gs DXpeditions, together with compression
type PL259s.  A side benefit is that it's easy to terminate the coax feed
from multiple station in female connectors (forming a 'patch panel' in
effect) so there is zero risk of cross-coupling 2 stations.  
My own station has mostly been converted to compression types; but there are
Amphenols in there too.  Motivation to change? Ease of waterproofing the
compression types.
Just my 2 pence/2c,
73, David G3WGN M6O WJ6O
