Hi, a tree branch caught the loop of coax at the base of my crank up antenna and ripped it apart. I need to cut, strip and crimp a connector on the stub that remains. Then I need a 4-5 ft length of coax with connectors to run up the lift arm to the antenna and a bullet to join them together. Where can I buy these items that are high quality and weather proof? Original was just RG-59. I want to upgrade to outdoor rated cable. Outdoor rated connectors with o-rings, etc. Not just the normal indoor bubble pack at Lowes. Moisture is what kills the TV signal.
Thanks....

You may find an inline connection buried in the sealer where the coax penetrates the roof. I've had good luck with indoor/outdoor RG-6 coax with weathertight fittings from Phat Satellite:

get this and some RG6 make your own cable of the length you want. The Klein kit makes it easy peasy to do excellent crimp connection. Use RG6 rather than RG59, RG6 is much lower loss than RG59 and usually is quad shielded to avoid interference issues.
