Default The little holes in PL259

What's the solution to soldering through to the underlying
braid in a PL259 if the only
soldering iron small enough to engage the holes is a
low-power jobbie?

Perchance the solution lies in using a junior hacksaw to
make a slot between two of the holes
so the big iron can get in there?

This is for an outdoors connection, so I want to ensure
that it is sound.




Use a butane torch instead.
