If it was me I'd get _8 small split-bolts_ and I'd be done with it. No
need to solder these. Thanks to an original recommendation by N4GG,
split-bolts are standard equipment in my Weekend DXpedition "I have no
idea what I will find when I get there" toolbox.
Electricians tape them when they're done, and someone decades later will
find a pristine one still doing its job under all that tape.
Those joints will last longer than you will need that antenna :-)

This may seem to be an easy problem, but the solutions I have tried have
not held up.
I need to electrically and mechanically join 2 perpendicular pieces of
bare, #12 copper wire. They will be subject to wind forces which have
repeatedly broken mere solder joints.
Suggestions ?
