Joe Morris :
Could you use a dielectric grease? Because you are connecting two dissimilar metals?

I worked for a cable company for a bit and they had a box with a really sticky glue in it that sealed up the coax connection for underground. look up "Environmentally Sealed Coax Drop Wire Closure"

I own a pool buiness and our salt cells have these same connections. They are terrible. I've seen them melt together as well once they start getting corroded. Terrible

Metal is not in its natural state. When electricity is moved over metal it speeds it's return to nature.

Electrical tape backwards (so it comes off easy) then butyl then electrical tape again. Creates a great wrath proofing for cell towers!

You did not use the required torque driver to connect them, clearly visible by the gap petheen the moving parts, just tightened by hand, right? Get the tool and fixx all connections 🌷

Heat shrink solder wire connectors for the individual conductors, and self adhesive marine grade shrink tubing to go over the cable connections.
