As has been pointed out, soldering connections that may
be subject to flexing is likely to result in failure, so here's
a suggestion regarding connections of antenna wire to
feed lines and insulators ....
There is an electrical connector sometimes referred to as a
"split bolt" or "Kearney (SP?) nut. These work well for this
task and, in reference to insulators, will allow easy length
adjustment. I also use them to connect the open-wire
feeders of my Zepp to the dipole elements, and to terminate
ropes and guy wires ... again, length adjustments are easily
made. They even come large enough to clamp copper
strap and wires to ground rods.
I can e-mail photos of these applications if you want. Note:
I cannot e-mail to Comcast subscribers. (;-(.
