I have a number of small connectors in the antenna field that require 
soldering. These are CinchJones connectors and the wire size being soldered is 
#18. No electrical services in the area so I need to purchase either a butane 
or Lithium battery solution.  Anyone have experiences with either option? 
Reviews on various types show mixed results. The temp specs on butane look 
really hot, perhaps too hot for small plastic connectors. The lithium pencils 
are reportedly too cold for all but the smallest (mass) connectors. Thoughts 
from the masses? Dennis, K7FL
