Likewise, for me the compression fitting is the only way to go. I used
to purchase the F connectors in jars. Single and double shield take
different connectors. The tool is relatively inexpensive as well. The
ones I had made a good weather tight seal although you might have to
weatherproof the connector. I'm only familiar with the F connectors
they made, but I think I've seen the BNCs that Jim is talking about.
After a couple connectors you wonder why you ever soldered them. <:-))
They are a bit more expensive than the plain connectors the cable guys
used to use, and no more of those awful crimps we used to see.

Snap N Seal makes good quality BNC compression connectors for various
incarnations of 75 ohm Al foil/braid shielded cables. Size matters --
be sure to buy the right connectors to match the cable. You'll also
need a cable stripper and compression tool that fit the cable.
