As far as the coax goes, I personally wouldn't use it. I really isn't
designed for it. The soldering, well first make sure ALL dirt, grease
corrosion ect is removed, add some flux to help even out the solder flow,
then heat both parts till the solder flows. If you clean it and flux it but
still don't get a good joint, you migh try a bogger soldering iron.
