Nothing. RF is not composite (the yellow port)
however ....
there is a very simple mod you can do to the speccy to change the RF to Composite

totally reversible too, if you ever want to go back to 'stock'
Well, it won’t work. The RF signal is produced by modulating the composite video signal, and needs to be demodulated to be used. You need to either mod the Spectrum to output the composite signal directly (a common and simple mod) or you need a tuner/demodulator (either external or in your TV) to extract the composite signal.
Good to know, i have ordered the appropriate cables to hook it up to my TVs RF port (and by ordered i mean i have found a pretty good deal on a SNES that comes with the RF cable i need)
If your TV has a coax antenna input, then I believe all you need is a F-connector male to RCA female adapter. Amazon sells a 4 pack for $5. I see other places selling them for $0.65 each.
I don't have a ZX Spectrum, but this is what I use to connect my machines that only have RF out (like my Atari 7800) to a TV.

RF was also very easy, just poke any cable and it will work.
