Forgot I had this video Just shows how quickly a BNC can be terminated!! Crimp type, with LMR195 I didn't heat shrink it on this occasion, but I normally use glue lined heat shrink, well worth the extra money!

Back to July this year when I graduated with a HNC Distinction in Electronics and Electrical engineering from Shrewsbury college! This was a 2 year part time course, as part of my Transmitter engineering training! Those in the know will recognise Dad G4OYX! Big shoes to fill!
