I can testify that F connectors with RG-6 will handle the legal limit on at least 160 and 80 without even getting warm.
This is true here with 2500 watts into a dummy load and CW contesting. I waterproof mine by partially filling them with silicone dielectric grease. Been doing that here for many years without a single problem. Outdoors, I use waterproof F connectors. If you use RG-6, the rough points on the center conductor should be filed smooth with a small fine file. Otherwise, the contacts in the male receptacle can be damaged. And RG-6 has a power handling curve very similar to RG-213. 73 Mike W0BTU _________________ Searchable Archives: http://www.contesting.com/_topband - Topband Reflector
