I slept through it. Sorry. First suggestion is to do a good TDR on the 
line. If you don't own instrumentation to do it, cast about among local 
techie types for someone to bring his instrument over and do the 
measurement. This will tell you the location of all splices and of any 
other faults.

Second suggestion is to bite the bullet and 1) learn what connectors are 
needed for the line you have, 2) buy them, and 3) install them. Here's a 
short applications note sharing some things I learned  going through 
this exercise in my station several years ago. All of my hard line is 
scrounged, and from multiple sources.
