Who had the RFI problem on 160M 70 miles away? Sounds more like the TV shield and connector not properly installed and grounded.
When I make these connector up with RG6 I strip the cable right down to the center conductor with about 1/2 of the center conductor sticking out. Then I cut back a little more than 1/8 inch of the outer jacket and not touching the braid. This is the important part, I fold back the braid over the outer jacket and I crimp the connector. This also work on the 2 piece connectors as well. Makes those annoying diagonal black bars disappear every time. Most installers I have seen do not give a hoot cause it takes to much time, they just jamb it in and crimp.
