YOu can go three routes:
Official method: Splice kit. Might be expensive although they have
popped up on the internet for varying cheaper prices.
Less desirable method: N male to N female. Cost is two connectors.
Might show a small but insignificant SWR bump. Not really a problem
on HF.
Homebrew method: http://www.kl7uw.com/Hardlinesplice.htm
The last method I haven't tried personally but it looks intriguing.
