Jody,
I believe with a coax stripper, you could just take the outer jacket off
an rg-58 or an rg-8 rf cable. Radio Shack carries 278-248 Deluxe Coax
Cable Stripper. It should work for you. But don't use BNC coax
connectors from Radio Shack for use with RG-58. As far as I know theirs
don't allow for soldering. Their PL-259 plugs are available in solder
and no-solder versions. Applied properly the solder version should work.
I'm sighted so I use a 100 watt iron for use with PL-259's and a 30 watt
iron for use with BNC and general pc board soldering. However they don't
make an iron with a heat shielded element that I know of, maybe somebody
on the list does.
The tip gets very hot. Soldering gun tips also get hot.

I am also interested in soldering information. I have been told that I
can't strip a coax and solder a connecter because I can't see the
layers. I never accept this excuse and I wonder what other people have
done to adapt to this problem.
