Thanks to everyone who offered a suggestion about soldering in the wild! I
managed to run an extension cord out to one failed section of 450 ohm
ladder line and fixed it with my trusty old weller gun. However, I
discovered two additional sections on the same antenna that are well beyond
the length of all my extension cords combined. I think I'll see what one
of the Weller or Ultratorches will do for me. I may also pick up a few
split bolts for quick and easy repairs if I can find a reasonably priced
source. Locally, they are pretty expensive. Ebay may provide better
hunting. Once again, thanks for all the suggestions.
