There's conductive, and inductive.

JB Weld contains iron, and is magnetic. It's comparable to the ferrite materials used in RF. A good dollop of that inside each connector will accomplish something. You can get 4-minute cure JB Weld, so you don't have to wait too long to see what happens. The SMA female side holds the stuff really well.
