Hi Jorge, Very high cost silver solder isn't needed for radial connections. Any mechanically and electrically secure connection that achieves and maintains about an ohm or less of connection resistance will have an undetectable affect on the the performance of your antenna (much less than 1 dB) compared to lossless radial connections . Thats why bolted connections are so popular and just as effective.as silver solder.

Will be ok to use 2%? The difference in price is extremely high!
