One thing I learned from my recent antenna project using RG6 and F
connectors was to buy quality environmentally sealed F connectors
(Snap-N-Seal) and the proper RG6 cutting/stripping and Snap-N-Seal
connector installation tool.
Makes quick weather tight RG6 F connectors. The junk
push-on/screw-on/solder F connectors are nothing but trouble.
