Hi Jorge,
Very high cost silver solder isn't needed for radial connections. Any
mechanically and electrically secure connection that achieves and
maintains about an ohm or less of connection resistance will have an
undetectable affect on the the performance of your antenna (much
less than 1 dB) compared to lossless radial connections . Thats why
bolted connections are so popular and just as effective.as silver solder.

Subject: Topband: Silver solder
Hello
I read about using silver to solder wire radials to terminals
This week I decided to ask sellers about silver solder and they offered me a 2%
and 30% silver bars
What we need for our use? Will be ok to use 2%? The difference in price is
extremely high!
Thanks,
Jorge
