the resistance. This can be detrimental, especially if you're using low
power (QRP). On the other hand, if you have an amplifier and transmit
through this sort of poor connection it can actually get worse, and you
can end up with variable swr, which most amplifiers don't like....

Typically, any clean, tight joint will be fine for awhile, longer if
protected, and longer yet if soldered before you protect it.....

another "High Ohmic" connection" would be:
The connection of a one-OHM resistor on top of a HIGH mountain.
That's the high ohm connection.

Or a one-ohm resistor on a tall ham's beanie-cap
