I do not often have problems with jumpers or long runs as I use a 'proper' crimper to make BNC connectors/jumpers. I have often wondered what the "proper" procedure is to makeup UHF connectors (often one of each on the jumper). Perhaps you or someone might detail the procedure for us. I'm sure the newbies will appreciate the information.

Joe - 

Many thanks for sharing your experience.  That is the kind of information 
we all either did, do or will need at some point in this great hobby. 

A few years ago I started going through all the cables in my shack, and 
ended up replacing a number of them that I thought might have been good 
enough for some stuff, but not as good as I wanted for the important 
stuff. 

It was frustrating to find a poorly made cable for which I paid good 
money.  It was a different feeling to find a poorly made cable for which I 
had to take full blame.  I don't know if it was one that I made before I 
knew how to get it "right", or if I was in a hurry, but I know now that we 
can learn from such experiences.
