Foundations of Amateur Radio — Episode 1:

eHam.net News – Recently I spent some time discussing the
losses associated with connectors between
your radio and your antenna. The traditional
wisdom, and I use the word “wisdom”
ironically, says that each connector
introduces loss into the feed line. There is
an understanding that the more connectors you
have the worse it is and the more loss you
have.
