  John,

That is quite OK.  When you solder both wires to the inside of the 
SO-239 jack, it will not longer rotate - that is unless you apply 
extraordinary torque to it, but there is no valid reason to do so.

After I noticed the inside connector and the red dialectric foam spins freely inside of the outer threaded shell of the connector.  Is this ok or do I need to replace this so-239?
