You say that screw-on F type connectors can be used with it.
Is there some special approved method of making the connection?
Maybe folding back the foil as well as the braid over the outer
insulation, instead of remving the foil and leaving only the braid as I
did, and then screwing a suitable-sized connector over that?

There may be something in one of Mr Wrights articles, I'd be
surprised if there wasn't:

I remove the foil fold back the braid evenly, trim the inner
insulation with a sharp blade soit's smooth, sqaure and projects
about 1 mm beyond the folded back braid. Screw on the connector until
the inner insulation is firmly against the flange in the connector.

F-types outside need to be completely wrapped in self amalgamating
tape once mated, they are not damp proof let alone weather proof!
