Having taken @CH's lead and advice on connectors, I bought some reasonably (but not "dead") cheap "weatherproof" (i.e. with internal seals) crimp F-connectors and a couple of different crimping tools to try out. "Sort of" worked but not entirely successfully with a fair proportion of failures such as crimps which didn't actually crimp the cable (on genuine WF100) and/or crimps with "ears" which had then to be cut off with heavy duty side-cutters,
NB: @CH did not actually tell me which connectors and tools to buy - so I'm not blaming him!
Therefore, as I am now nearly ready to buy some more connectors, I would appreciate suggestions as to both better connectors and the appropriate crimping tools to use on them.
Thanks in advance.
PS: I suspect that a few others would also appreciate any such info!
