-> Hmmmmm, I'm confused. I'v made 3 antennas just like this one with coa
-> hangers. They soldered up just fine. Used a 75 watt soldering iron
-> and silver solder with no problems. To keep the rust off, used blue
-> Crylon paint (no metal in the paint) to finish the job. Oh well I
-> guess ignorance is bliss. I didn't know you coldn't solder a coat
-> hanger to a PL-259. Antennas have been working fine for abt 2 years
-> now. ;-)
 I would just concider yuo Lucky. It is really difficult to actualy have
solder Stick to a Steel Coat Hanger. Particualrly with a 75 watt iron.
