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 becasue 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 ion....

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

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

You mentioned nothing in the original about HWERE....

I would use shrink wrap electrical tubing. It doesn't require very much heat
to shrink... good for a temporary connection.

I would make up the connection and wrap some solder around it, so that if
sufficient heat hits the join even for only a handful of seconds, the solder
is already in place. The question still remains of how to get the heat in.
With a free hand that is no longer holding solder, some sort of local
shelter could me made. Could cup the area with the spare hand to shield it,
or shelter it with the side of your open jacket. Maybe some trickery could
be done like blocking off some of the air holes at the base of the propane
burner, allowing the gas to come out relatively deoxygenated, with the
oxygen being added by the rush of air from the wind - let the resulting
downwind blue flame play over the join.
