No, I'm measuring shield end to end.
Here's a picture, maybe that will give you a different opinion.

The resistance from shield to shield should fairly close to zero. Same
with center pin to center pin. If you're not getting near zero, you
have an open somewhere in the circuit. My guess(tm) would be the
crappy old PL-259 connectors and UG-175 reducers. Check your
continuity.

You will see in the picture I stabilized it and tapped the whole
thing.

Perhaps you meant "taped" as in wrapped with duct tape?

The center hole is not big enough for RG-6/u.

Peel off the RG-6/u outer jacket and it will probably fit.
