Subject: Re: [TowerTalk] Soldering Radials?
Why wouldn't 60/40 Rosin Core Solder work outside? That's news to me and I
have used it forever on any electrical connection inside or outside without
any problems. What did I miss?

For one, you missed corrosion. Things tend to be dirty outside. Dirt acts as
carrier of humidity (read; electrolyte). Copper - Tin/Lead is dissimilar metals
and that in combination with the electrolyte results in speedy corrosion of the
solder joint.
