REX:
I got the end connectors each end will have a original N connector to attach a
pig tail of 1/2 inch superflex to antenna and equipment
what i need is A MIDDLE JOINT TECHNIQUE to make a longer run, have 2 runs of
50-60 ft each to make a 120 ft to start
will not want to pay hundreds of dollars for the splice or 2 flange
connectors, but a good deal will be consider of course
Want to make 4-6 joints to use all the short pieces that I get

I don't know how much power you're planning on putting through that
cable,
but here's a cheap (and not "too-bad") approach to making UHF
connectors for
hard-line using a hose clamp and a coax barrell connector. Just slit the
hardline outer conductor at 4 places, hog out enough of the foam so that the
barrel will fit down in the cavity (you may have to "adjust" the
center
conductor both lengthwize and diameter), put the barrel over the center
conductor, and clamp the hose clamp over the outer conductor to hold it in
contact with the outside of the barrel. Tape up the whole thing, and you've
saved $40+ per connector! Now you can use a piece of coax with PL259's on
each end to hook two of these hard line pieces together.
