crimp terminals for the aluminum rg-6 type coax
Has anyone tried using some of the ring type terminals like you crimp on
stranded wire to make connections to the cable TV type of rg-6 coax ?
Say to make a dipole and you want to feed it with some rg-6 it is almost
impossiable to make a connection to a wire dipole. I was thinking that I
could take a ring terminal designed for about # 14 copper wire and peel back
some of the aluminum strands and put then through the ring terminal and
crimp it.
I have tried it on a test piece of coax and it holds well, but not sure if
it would hold up out in the weather for a number of years.
