Most of the previous comments about so called SWR "bumps" caused by UHF
connectors at HF frequencies, should be ignored.  I have tested numerous
combinations on an HP 8753C network analyzer.  They are quite acceptable
up to the UHF range.  They are virtually invisible below 30 mhz.

For a very good summary on UHF connector losses, see:
