The big random variable for tower soldering is wind.
Any significant wind will greatly increase the required
heater power. If you can arrange to solder on a windless
day or inside a wind shield, it makes it a lot easier.

Finding enough heat to solder anything on a tower is a challenge. I have a
small propane soldering iron which works Ok for smaller things but I don't
think it would work on a PL-259 shell.

Anyone have luck using battery charged soldering iron up on a tower? Do they
get hot enough?
