The vast majority of HF stations with big power amps use UHF connectors 
throughout, and are without such problems as long as quality connectors 
are properly installed. The only problems I've ever had with connectors 
were the result the connectors being junk quality, and it hasn't been 
voltage breakdown. Rather I've had them fall apart, and I've had the 
center conductor melt.
