My first thought is/was that there might be some sort of conductive
Loctite-equivalent that I could use. Nothing found so far.

Hi Pete. Have you considered using a *tiny *amount of Loctite 222
(purple) low strength on a small section of the threads?

Subject: [TowerTalk] Reliability (or not) of SMA connectors
I'm not sure if this is the right place or not, but thought I'd ask
because this is at least a feedline question.
I have a number of SMA connectors in areas of my station like my RBN SDR
and my N1MM Spectrum Display. It seems like every few weeks I start
running into problems, and have to go through and retighten them to get
rid of intermittent signal losses. Is there anything that can be done
to secure them better?
