Bill:
I use a butane soldering iron for such tasks away from commercial power
sources. Try Amazon.com or a local source.

Having been reading about soldering irons I have a question. Just
recently had to do some soldering about 25 feet up my tower, I had to
run 150 feet of #12 extension cord out and part way up the tower. I was
using a 25 watt iron that gets a tip temp of 750 degrees F. An
occasional breeze would hinder the solder from melting using a conical
tip. I did manage to get the job done but was wondering if the
screwdriver tip and a 1000 degree F tip would have made the job any
easier, retaining more heat when the breeze blew. Any thoughts on this
would be helpful for the next time.
Thanks
Bill, AI3Q
