I just unpacked and assembled a TV antennae from Maplin and of course then realised the thing has an "F socket" (threaded) on it - not a good old coax.
I could call Maplin and ask if they sell an adaptor but as I'd like to get a real answer before driving all the way back there - does anyone know if such an adaptor exists - or so I have to get a F plug and solder it on in the gloom of my loft :-(
For sure: eg have a look at ebay item 200218320772 - yours for 99p delivered.

Or you could have looked at their website. A 30 second search ('adaptor' into 'TV and Satellite') yields QQ71N. You can even check stock at your local branch.
It's not entirely clear from your post, but you might want QQ72 instead...
Please try harder next time! :-)
Bless you oh lobster person :-) (thanks)

Most all F plugs are screw or crimp on, don't recall ever seeing a soldered one!;...
10p worth of screw on F connector can be fitted in moments and with no soldering. Failing that, adaptors are available.
F plugs don't need soldering - that's the beauty of them. They use the centre conductor as the 'pin' and just screw on round the braid which is folded back over the outer.
Far better to fit one than use an adaptor from Belling Lee to one.
F plugs screw or crimp, no soldering required.

F plugs twist on - the centre connector of the wire is the pin. You should have got a F plug with your aerial. The last time I purchased F plugs they were around 15p each.
