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.
