Aerial - quick query
Which one of these do I need to attach to the aerial lead coming from the aerial? It's as clear as mud

My aerial has been chopped through and re-joined. At first, I thought this was a bodge job with a Belling-Lee connector (or two). On closer inspection, the guy has fitted the correct F connectors and coupling, and even wrapped them in self-amalgamating tape. Shame one of the connectors was badly crimped on, and fell off. I've bodged it but I need to replace the connector. I think it's the CT100 but I'm not sure.

They're fine for Joining Coax just so long as there is no stress being put on the connectors (IE clipped to skirting/wall/brick) and not being slung free or being tugged on, they don't like weight.

Re: Aerial - quick query
Exactly, Zeph - my aerial lead is roaming free 
At the moment, each evening I have to give it a shove to get a decent-ish signal.
I've sussed it - it is the CT100 connector. I've put the order in. The trouble with working is that by the time you get home, it's too dark to see anything. Going to have to wait for the weekend.

Re: Aerial - quick query
The electrician had one of those - never thought to get one myself. Something to add to the wish list - for when I have more cash. The connectors and tape came to £12 including delivery
