Is it ok to extend the length of a antenna cable by making a short pigtail say five feet with connectors on each end to go between a VHF and the existing cable that is to short?

You will have a small signal loss from the connectors, but otherwise
fine. It is fairly common to build an 18-24" coax from the radio tray to
make future changes and servicing easier. AFAIK only GPS has constraints
about allowable dB loss between antenna and receiver.

Thanks Mr. N.

But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear.”
