I've never thought much about this before, but I'm surprised there aren't people who terminate cables as a service. Bring them your coax, pick it up later with proper connectors installed properly. I'd pay for that.

Any ham radio operators still conscious after a weekend of radio, what is your favorite coax crimping kit? (my thought: invest in a DX Engineering crimp/solder tool). I have a lot of legacy (ie used) coax with ultra-crappy or nonfunctional soldered braids, either from the former owner, or myself. #hamradio #coax
