'Course the ARRL had declared the Molex connector the standard a few

I've never understood the fascination with these connectors. They seem
rather flakey and cheap to me. You don't always get a solid connection. They
move around too much especially with a heavy-conductor wire hanging off
them. If you're going to depend on a friction fit, then give the thing some
friction.

Tha main reason they have become "standard" is that the ARRL (ARES) declared
them so, so all the good little sheep follow.
