I must admit I have done various kinds of antenna system soldering 
outdoors, including PL-259s. Yet it occurs to me that the whole point of 
using connectors for coax, or any other kind of cable, it so that the 
connections can be made quickly and easily, where the connectors need to 
be plugged in, AFTER the tedious and detailed work of putting the 
connectors on the cable is done inside the shop, with the aid of good 
lighting, clamps or vices and a nice work surface.
