The only specialty connectors I've bought are the MCX ones. I'm trying to avoid adapters or any other connectors on the cable run. As short as needed and as directly connected as possible seems to give the best results here.
I did try at first soldering to the washer but it was not sturdy enough for me. The nut, if soldered properly gives a much tougher result.

I hated the fact that the whip was always moving around and the connection is actually pretty flimsy since there is no cable and F connector to support it. Plus the fact that from whip to MCX connector there's nothing else besides the small cable run.
I will have to post a picture of how I soldered the MCX connector to the RG59 cable.
PS: the wire through the barrel was at one time a radial for a spider connected just by tightening the nut. They were each (3 doubles making 6 total radials) at different height on the F connector. Not the best option but it worked nicely for a few tests.
