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.

Some say that I should google before posing a question on Usenet, but it is
my intention to promote discussion in what otherwise tends to be a dying
medium,
especially in uk.radio.amateur where the untechnical abusive lunatics are
taking
over the asylum.

This, now, may be of interest (and also his Part 2 covering RG58) ...
