Howard,

Since your station isn't set up for power poles, I  would probably  just 
chop it off as well  and go with whatever  you are already using in your 
shack.  However, if you  want to try the power pole route,  you can get by 
with a $10 crimper, which is what I use.  Or solder.      Also, West 
Mountain Radio, and Saratoga Amateur (a brand carried by HRO) both sell 
pre made cables in 10 or 12 gauge with power poles  both ends, or   power 
poles at one end and ring terminals at the other.  Maybe other 
configurations as well
