No.

For really high power at UHF and above, I recommend 7/16" DIN 
connectors.  The centyer pin is larger and doesn't tend to arc/melt 
above 500 watts at these frequencies.  Teflon insulated silver uhf 
connectors can be used up to 1000 MHz.  They are not a constant Z but 
unless you are running video or another extreamly wide signal a 
non-constant Z isn't all that important for most analog signals.  The 
antenna isn't a constant Z either.

Just my opinion.  YMMV prices less VAT, etc.,etc.
