Convenient (non-weatherproof) connectors are available for humble,

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?

Thanks and 73,

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.

are those bannaplugs in anyway weatherproof?? i'd guess they'd get
corroded pretty quick and pretty bad no??
