Maybe it is an issue with the coax. I will have to go look the maker
and specs. I don't know what other connectors to use. I use the
appropriate stripping tool with a compression F connector. I will have
to check the other connectors at each antenna and see if they are doing
it too. I suppose I could try a different brand of compression connectors.

I have seen this phenomenon many times with RG8 using type N connectors
The only solution I know for that case is to switch to UHF connectors
don't allow the dielectric to move relative to the center conductor.
Does anyone else understand this behavior?

I have a circle 8 array and the center dielectric seems to grow after
I put connectors on. Enough that the connector works itself off the
switching unit. There is at least 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch coming out
past where it should on the connector. I am using quality
compression connectors. Do I need to stretch this coax out? I don't
recall the brand but I think it was decent quality cable. Has anyone
else seen this?
