We do splices all the time with RG11 and RG6 using F type connectors and a barrel connector to join the two. This is for cable tv systems. Connectors are cheap - if you don't have any flag down your friendly fios or comcast truck and he will surely part with a few. The problem is you need the correct crimp tool if they are snap and seal or a variant. The cable guy may be able to lend you a tool.
