Topband: Soldering in the wild!

[Kenneth Grimm]

Thanks to everyone who offered a suggestion about soldering in the wild!  I
managed to run an extension cord out to one failed section of 450 ohm
ladder line and fixed it with my trusty old weller gun.  However, I
discovered two additional sections on the same antenna that are well beyond
the length of all my extension cords combined.  I think I'll see what one
of the Weller or Ultratorches will do for me.  I may also pick up a few
split bolts for quick and easy repairs if I can find a reasonably priced
source.  Locally, they are pretty expensive.  Ebay may provide better
hunting.  Once again, thanks for all the suggestions.

73,
