New antenna installation

[DJB]

Group,

I plan to install a antenna in the near future. They only way I can get the
antenna wire to my "basement shack" is through the basement window. I plan
to install a double female bulkhead connector in the plexiglass basement
window. I also plan to install coax lightning arrestors on the incoming side
of the window with male uhf connectors on the antenna cable. The arrangement
will be like this: antenna-male uhf connector-coax-male uhf
connector-lightning arrestor-double female bulkhead connector-male uhf
connector-coax-male uhf connector-tuner-male uhf connector-coax-male uhf
connector-swr meter-male uhf connector-coax-uhf connector-radio. My question
is would there be any loss in the line due to using the double female
bulkhead connector and would it be significant??

Thanx,

Dave

For each connector you lose .5 DB
Look at http://users.erols.com/rfc/index1.htm
to limit your loss.
