Sorry for the off topic, but just had to mention that I have not heard from Jack in ages. We were good friends when I lived in Fort Wayne and had a lot in common. Just looked him up and see that he just became an SK. He is my age, but regardless, I was saddened to see that. 73 – Mike

?
HI? all,
?
Thanks for reading the mail.? I have acquired a home brew amp
and power supply that is missing its HV cable.? I'd like to change both
of them to one style since they are both different.? Jack Schutt K9GT
originally built this.? I'd thought about using SO-239/PL-259's that are
Teflon with RG-8 inner conductor cable as the HV wire and packing
the PL-259's with RTV-108 and sleeving the wire with GOOD Belden
heavy shrink tube with sealant.? Does that sound like it would hold
5 KV since that's what Jack built the power supply too?? Thanks
