Diversion: Of all the connectors available, the common F-connector is
the only one that is made from enough dissimilar metals to insure
galvanic corruption. The connector shell is made from aluminum or
brass. It is plated with alodine 1200, nickel, chrome, gold, pyrite,
or nothing. The coax center wire is copper plated steel or solid
copper. The foil and braid shields are aluminum. With this mix of
dissimilar metals, if you get any water inside, something is going to
corrode.

I forgot to mention the center connection, which is made from tin
plated brass.
