Re: SLU-70 Lugs

We over looked that rule as well and this year we thought we're on top of it by soldering all our 6 gauge crimp connections - oh well - we replaced them with the SLU-70 lugs and all was well they held up through 15+ matches. I did notice a couple of rookie teams that had their lug screw pressing onto their wire instead of the screw pressing onto the V shaped clamp and then agaist the wire. Perhaps this might be why some teams had them coming loose.
