Well, we will see in a couple of weeks what I get. I broke down and bought
a set consisting of a BNC crimping tool, a wire stripper and 50 rg-59
BNC plugs from an eBay store.

What's the item number? I'll check if you bought the correct
connectors for RG-6a/u QS coax.

Though to be honest, if they are not the correct ones, I'll still probably
use them anyway.

New word I coined 12/13/09, "Sub-Wikipedia" adj, describing knowledge or
understanding, as in he has a sub-wikipedia understanding of the situation.
i.e possessing less facts or information than can be found in the Wikipedia.

In article , says...

No the size of the center conductor pin is different between 75 and 50
ohm connectors and will either make bad contact or damage the socket.

Please support that allegation with evidence.

What are the specified diameters of the inner conductor mating surfaces
of 75R and 50R BNC plugs ?

Include allowable manufacturing tolerances, and quote your sources.

Not in years, they used to be made with different sized pins but now
rely on different dielectrics for impedance.

Who used to get yelled at by his boss for inserting 50 ohm males into
75 ohm females.
