If you have the 1950's style Weller or Wen Soldering guns that were about
100 watts, (some were more), you can take off the tips and use the shanks to
butt up to the PL 259 type UHF inner shell, when you solder the little holes
to the shield of the coax.
You should pretin the shield where the h

I have used an Antex plumber's electric soldering iron which grips the
barrel all the way around for very fast heating; the very large tips (grips)
hold a massive amount of heat. The newer type with the top hat sleeve
inserted up inside the braid are quicker and easier and more certain,

backup is never a bad idea.

To solder PL-259's I use a propane torch. I am able to get the body hot
enough quickly enough to flow the solder without over heating the coax.
I use fairly thick solder. I am able to completely fill the solder
holes which helps to ward off moisture getting in. Some coax has a low

Yup, very true. At HF frequencies, loss is not the issue. (Even at 144 MHz
the loss is not significant if the connectors are mounted/installed
correctly. Above that, at UHF frequencies, things go downhill pretty fast.
That must be why they call 'em UHF connectors. Uh, yeah.)
