How would you do that at the top of a mast while
soldering an antenna connector? There is an easier
solution.

You are trying to solder a connector in cool high winds.
Because of the wind, the part cools faster than your
propane torch can keep it hot.

If you can't get out of the wind and can't wait to complete
the job, what is the simplest work around to get your part
soldered? [1 pt]


Gad! I know the answer to this one because we've played that one out
several times! You get your wife to stand over the parts that you're
trying to solder with a quilt keeping the wind out and all your body heat
in....



Not fair putting conditions on afterwards..we were working on the
antenna connection at the base of the mast....take a quilt up with
you and tent it over the top
