The Powerpole stay together, but are very loosely connected and can be pulled apart with minimal effort. Looks like we might have to use the forks to keep them together.

If they don't stay together without additional help, they may not be making good electrical contact, either.
Here is a document from the ham radio community that has a bit more detail, including the standard configuration of red-black pairs. The standard mnemonic is "Red Right Tongue Top". With the wires toward you, and the dovetail "tongues" on top, red will be on your right. The pictures shown in the ham doc and in the post by wgardner above are taken from the
contact side, so red is on the left when the tongues are on top.
