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.

The best way is to use standard BNC or UHF connectors and a Female/Female
coupler, then use the PuttyTape to wrap the connection, and Scotch 88
over the PuttyTape. That being said, since Loran C is 100Khz, a
soldered splice will also work if done correctly, and then sealed with
PuttyTape and overwrapped with Scotch 88.
One must keep in mind that ALL Loran C antenna systems use and Active
Coupler and that means there is DC voltage between the center conductor
and the shield that powers the active elements in the coupler.
