[TowerTalk] RG-6

They assume that you are going to use compression fittings with that stuff
unfortunately.

It's not meant to be soldered it's supposed to be crimped on to an F type
connector.

Subject: [TowerTalk] RG-6


I recently purchased 200' of RG-6 from Lowes for a receiving antenna.

The braid is real strange stuff.  Looks, act and feels like steel.  I can't
get ordinary, resin-core solder to attach at all.  The solder just beads up
and falls off.

Any suggrstions as to how to solder this stuff?
