I've spliced coax but never tested the result with radio. It's worth
a try.

If you cut a piece of braided sleeve, you can work it carefully to a
larger diameter. Pushing it over a pen or splicing fid may help.

Slip the sleeve over one half and push down to expose the inner wire.
Join and solder the inner conductor and then tape or compound out to
the required diameter.
Pull the sleeve out and very lightly solder.

You might also see if the cable TV terminals that Radio Shack sells
are the right size.

I would like to keep my Loran C as a back up.
It looks like I may have to replace the coupler for my Loran C to
make it
work.
Failing to get a new one I have locate an old coupler that work.
The
couplers appears to be sealed and the connections embedded. So I
will have
to cut the coaxial at the coupler and re-route new cable. As the
connection
will be outside I hate to use cable to cable connectors. May be
there is a
way to make a nice splice using braided sleeve. I would appreciate
any
instruction on how to do it.
