There is also the possibilty that the little bare wire sticking out of the

Noooooooooooooooooooo!

I've found out the hard way that having the center wire sticking out too
far from an F connector is a great way to destroy F jacks. A wire that
goes too far in will spread the two inside contacts. Tightening down
on the threaded part can apply a lot of force to the inside guts.
