HI All
Today I was trying to solder some connectors on some cables for a two
meter antenna.  It seems like everytime I pick up the soldering gun to
use it, it doesn't work right. I have to take some pliers and loosen the
nuts that hold the tip in and re-tighten them.  Are there any good tips
that I can get to get rid of the problem?  I can set the gun down for a
minute and when I go to use it again, it won't get hot again. It gets
very frustrating.  73
