Convenient (non-weatherproof) connectors are available for humble,
TV-style, 300 Ohm twinlead. But I am not aware of any sort of
connectors for 450 Ohm window line.

Does anyone in this NG know of any such connector? If yes, where
can they be purchased? And if not, how about clever work-arounds--
perhaps doing something with banana plugs?

I use the Radio Shack banana plugs. They're heavy duty. Have a male
plug at one end, a female jack at the other end. Attach the ladderline
wire with the built-in thumb screws. The double banana RS connectors
are the same width as 450 ohm ladderline. As I understand, they're
patterned after the old General Radio banana plugs, which are no
longer available.

See part 278-308 at the RS site.

The Pomona MDP series is similar, but uses an internal setscrew rather
than a thumbscrew. Digi-Key sells the Pomona plugs with nickel-plated
brass contacts for $2.47 in onesies, quite a bit less than the $6.29
gold-plated Radio Shack versions. Pomona does make gold-plated models
but Digi-Key doesn't carry them.
