If you have the 1950's style Weller or Wen Soldering guns that were about
100 watts, (some were more), you can take off the tips and use the shanks to
butt up to the PL 259 type UHF inner shell, when you solder the little holes
to the shield of the coax.
You should pretin the shield where the holes are going to be over that area,
to give something for the added solder wire to easily adhere to when it
reaches the plastic, (Eutectic) state. Get both shanks onto the shell near
the hole you are soldering to rapidly heat up the shell. Let the shell
/hole edge melt the solder.
