Hi Folks,

I know it's been awhile since I've been on the radio, but I'm slowly getting 
back into it. Wife (KC0RAD) is doing better and she is cancer free (doctor's 
words). So I'm slowly getting back into my hobbies.

August UHF contest is coming up (my favorite contest) and I'm planning on some 
rewiring of my antenna system because of the addition of 902/3 and some new coax 
(LMR600 for 432 to 1.2G). 


Just wondering if someone has a google spreadsheet for this contest or is 
planning to have one up soon. 


Also would like some info (like a good website) on using/installing SMA 
connectors to hard coax and how to properly bend hard coax.  Reason being is 
I'll be working on tower-mounted RF Amp/pre-amp system for 2304 for next year. 
Amp, pre-amp and relays have SMA connectors and I have never worked with SMA 
connectors (as well as working with 2304 and above). Plus any accessories that 
work at 2304 (power meter, SWR meter, etc) that I could build or buy.

Look forward to the responses,
Chris N0TTW
