It is best to have one piece no splicing.

Most of today’s coaxial cable is plated copper on steel or aluminum. The shielding on most is aluminum.

Cheapest the Television F type good for RG 58 , RG59 and RG6.

BNC Easy to use and fast to disconnect too upto 29 watts.

239 type harder to use , more costly and takes time to disconnect over 50 watts depending on the chart.

1) before connecting use Qtip and apply a very small amount of ANTI OXIDANT COMPOUND note some can give a electrical/resistance so keep to small aerial. On aluminum wire you use a lot but not on radio/antenna connections. .

2) Make the connection tie.

3) Apply silicon on out side let setup. Electric wiring has liquid for this.

4) Rap withe Rubber splicing tape used for electric wiping 3 or 4 layers

5) Last is electric vinyl tape 3 or 4 layers. Do not use a cheap tape.
