Hi Dennis.  The best thing I have found for working on antennas outside 
are the small soldering torches.  You can get a small propane soldering 
torch and they really work a lot better than an iron. You don't have to 
drag the AC cord around either. I have used one for a long time, and 
they work great..  73
