A bit off topic - I am hoping to get  better at making cables and dipoles etc... and would like to replace the antiquated soldering iron I am attempting to use with something more suited to the job.  I'd appreciate a recommendation as to brands/models I should be looking at for this type of work.  I'm not sure what wattage would be appropriate.  I do not plan to do circuit work at this time, strictly connectors and HF dipoles.

Thanks!
