Crimp type work ok in the shack but not out side for a long time. Solder it
by far the best way to go. Another type that works good outside is
compression clamps. The ones meant to be used with hard line. They cost
more, but unless you like climbing up a 60 foot tower in a contest, they are
worth the cost!


How about using clamp N-types *and* soldering them?? You'd have to
drill a hole or two in the outer casing for the solder, but wouldn't
it be the most secure solution?
