Anyone have top half to shakespeare ant.

Loctite may interfere with your reception/transmission correct? Aren't the bottom and top ferrules, threads what transmits the current? I'm probably wrong.... They do sell that repair gauze made of carbon or Kevlar you could wrap around the sensitive area touch up w some paint to match and have a stronger point. Look for it in the big orange store or places like such.

Or is it a male female coax in the center thing?

The whole connector is the conductor. So put locktite in threads.

The Antenna is two poles. The base of mast in one side or pole. The tip top of the screw-in antenna is the other side.

When you screw in the antenna to the base you continue the connection to the other side of the antenna.

Remember stiffening it makes it even more likely to break due to the LACK of flex. You want as much flex as possible. That's why it breaks at the ferrule. It's the stiff part.

Very stupid question.... is this antenna a 6' base with a screw on 8' antenna?

Just asking, totally unsure?

I have a few 8' Shakes with chrome ferrules in the attic, no idea if this will help ya out or not? Let me know, will take a look tomoorow and see whats up there.
