[Icom] PW-1 SO-239 discoloration

[VE6JY Don Moman]

The silver plated connectors (both PL259's and the 2 piece N style) are
available in Canada from Alfa Radio (780-466-5779) in Edmonton.... We're not
down the street from Chris but we are at least in the same country.  I
bought my first ones at Dayton years ago - never saw them up here then- and
I'd never go back to using the other stuff.  And yes, I am involved with
Alfa Radio - that's why the store now stocks these connectors.....

Look for us at Dayton with our new antenna rotor product- right across from
the RAC booth..
