Many people talk about how much better their TV is after they downgrade to a Jack, but do not realize the problem was corrosion on the F-Connector at the antenna,, which they cleaned in the process of swapping out the heads.
That is exactly the issue I recently found and with my particular system the roof feed thru uses one of the "plates" with a male connector on each side. I found the roof side connection corroded so bad the center connector was basically "GONE". Also, it appears the corrosion has done the same to the end inside the roof and I will have to remove the plate and redo that entire feed thru. I'm currently on a road trip so this will have to wait till I return. There was one of these "weather" boots over the outside connector, but I plan on not re suing that, but sealing the connection with a good "slathering" of liquid electrical tape like Scotch Kote.
