You've gotten good advice from Jeff and Arne, but I'll add to it. You're
lucky with that cable -- matching connectors are widely available, even
PL259, which is an excellent choice if you're using the hard line at HF.
Google to find part numbers and sources, as well as installation
instructions. I've installed not quite a dozen connectors on four or
five different types of hard line. I don't consider myself an expert,
but I got the job done. The hand tools needed are things like a hack
saw, files, and adjustable wrenches. The link below is to a short
application note compiling some things I learned in the process,
including connector types for some line types and sources of those
connectors. Far from complete, simply what I learned about the surplus
and/or hard line that I found.

Jeff, It is Andrew Heliax LDF4-50A 1/2 inch. Thanks so much for your
generous offer. I am in a rural area and it is 30 miles to nearest
technology store and that is a telephone boutique named Radio Shack
staffed by young know nothings (texting experts) or Staples office
supply store for computer stuff. I'm good in QRZ.com
