My almost 60 year old trusty soldering iron which I used to solder the hole and 
pin of the UHF connectors went belly up. There is no information on it re brand 
or wattage but I could change tips.

I’m going to have to shop for a new one and that means buying on line since we 
are a long ways from anyplace that carries electronic stuff.

Please, no ‘go to crimping’ suggestions. I agree it’s a great method but at my 
age I’m not probably going to be doing many more, and I know the process for 
soldered UHF connectors.

Would just like some recommendations on soldering irons currently being used by 
some of you for UHF connector soldering that would be available on the market. 
I’ve  a couple of Weller guns and an old low wattage soldering station, but 
neither will work well for doing the UHF barrels.

Suggestions welcome,

Don T W7WLL
