Fill the F connectors with silicone dielectric grease, and from both sides. Besides keeping out moisture, that also raises the breakdown voltage. I do that with all my F connectors that carry 1500 watts, even the ones indoors.
And before you install the F plug, smooth the sharp edges off the RG-6 CCS center conductor with a fine file. That helps protect the plating on the mating contacts from damage as you plug it in. 73, Mike www.w0btu.com On Mon, Mar 16, 2015 at 11:51 AM, <[email protected]> wrote: > > > The worse connectors are BNC, F, and type N.
