Guy,
No I haven't had that issue. But I have inspected the soldered
connections on occasion. I unwrap the tape and look, maybe check the
connection with an ohm meter if in doubt. It is looks not good, I have
cut it out and replaced it, but that is generally after the wire has
been out there for
Mike,
The more I think about it, the more I think I will look into the UPS for
the power to run the gun. That seems the best way. There is just too
much high grass around in the Summer to take a chance. Even a tiny spark
can cause an issue. I like to soldar when it is damp outside anyway.

Curt,
Very interesting, especially all of the Cubans and other Caribbean
stations you here with such strong signals. Thanks for sharing.

Hi all, I have some sad news, and that is, I just turned on my super
radio, and was on 940, and heard what sounded like processor, or
compresser noise, so I turned to 930, and there was the iboc hash, as
loud and distinctive as ever, so the second iboc station for the san

C fellow IRCAnauts -
Regular solder, torches, high-up open air locations can be a
disappointment. Thanks for plumbing solder tip, C. Stainless nuts, bolts
washers as well
as crimp sleeves in use here. No shame in twisting tightly, either, as

If all you're doing is twisting the broken ends of the wire back
together and then soldering it, you don't even need a tip - just a
small propane torch. Get the flame on the area, and feed the solder
in.

This is correct. Remember that the wire itself has to get hot

Marty,
Thanks for the signal report. I heard a hash on 930 the other night
around LSS on 930, but I could not fiqure who it was coming from as
nothing on 940 or 920 did not seem strong enough here, so it probably
was from Fresno.

Of course it will. How long will copper last? Just be sure you
throw enough wraps that the splice won't part.
OK with tape, but if you want to seal against water invasion,

I am surprised I heard the sweep tones on both tests as it is Summer. I
kind of hope they run a test later on in the Fall or Winter.

I grab the wire on both sides of the solder joint and tie it into a knot.
This is how I fix the many joints in my Beverage wires, and they've never
broken at the knot point or solder joint.
As for the soldering, I've always used cigarette lighters or mini-torches a
la the Radio Shack offering.
