Topband: coax soldering

[DXer]

That's exactly what I've been doing for some years now. I buy the cable 
already terminated with F connectors, and add BNC, PL259, or N adapters 
as required.

Not the most efficient as far as minimizing losses is concerned, but 
terminating cable is not something I enjoy.

I don't know how this would work with hi power. I operate with less than 
100W always.
