VHF Q? Bart?
I used to prefer both ..... crimp, then solder.

You'll have many more and far more difficult to trace problems with crimps then you ever will with solder. Depends on if the crimps are done right. One problem with solder is that the heat of the solder makes the wire brittle, then they are more subject to damage from vibration over the years. Dunno about 'hard spots' but it's true that old wires break at the solder taper. One old timey boat electrician told me that the trick is to use just a small amount of solder so it doesn't wick up into the wire strands. One thing I do know for a fact.... eithe solder or crimp is better than twist-N-tape wiring! DSK |
