I guess I was wrong about the connector panel connectors,
I thought they were called N connectors. Sorry.

The ET shop was very close to Main Comm on the USS Midway, and I hung around
there at times when off duty.
I live in Indiana not California so it isn't easy for me to visit CVA-41 to
take a look to see the Patch Panel in Main Comm to findout the part number of
the plug(s) used.
I was thinking if you remember seeing that panel when you were aboard Ship?
The coax cords had the sameconnector on either end to connect a Receiver to the
jacks for the Antenn(s) available.

Just wondering, if you remember seeing what ai saw in the early 1960's.
