Switchcraft and Neutrik both make excellent RCA male cable-mount
connectors. They are easy to terminate, and the shell will accept cable
with an o.d. of about 0.25-in. They can be used with RG58 and RG59
cables having a copper braid shield. I buy stuff like this from Full
Compass, near Madison, WI.

I have generally found RCA connectors to be unsatisfactory in the long
term for a variety of reasons generally revolving around the "Astro"
plate hard nickel surfaces. A large number of 160 receive antenna
systems are built with type F connectors with generally good results -
as well as it being a threaded connector instead of a slip on (read:
slip off in the middle of the contest)
