As I recall, past list debates concentrated mainly on crimp v. soldered RF
connectors.  In this case, each crimped Romex terminal lug failed with
infinite measured resistance between the #10 wire and barrel.  So, I think
it's worthy of discussion.  FWIW, most private replies suggested a
combination of crimping, followed by solder.  In the future, that advice
will be used on all outdoor crimped lugs at my station.  

Thanks to all for the public and private replies.

Paul, W9AC
