I'd be interested in any tricks people have developed for silver soldering
wires in a radial field.  I have had a hard time getting good flow.  I
know you need more heat than with normal solder - but perhaps there are
some other tricks?  I have tried flux as well - but still not feeling
really good about the connections.
