Default Coax Connector Questions

Hello:

This will be my first outdoor receiving antenna project.

For running coax between a receive only antenna (30 MHz), and the receiver
in the house,
what are the typical connectors to specify.

Some of these connectors will be outdoors, of course, and this is a
consideration as they will
be essentially inaccessible, and I would like them to remain tight,
functional, etc. for a long time..

I guess for 30 MHz, I don't need the higher freq. fancy N or F, etc., but
should I
go with BNC's, PL-259/259, or...? Why ?

How does one protect outdoor coax connectors ?
Gunk them up with RTV or...?

Are therer "better quality" ones avail. than what one sees in the Universl
cat., such as Silver plated, etc. ?
Worth getting ?

Thanks,
Bob
