Soldering done correctly will have a good mechanical connection first even if it is just a linesman's splice. Then use heatshrink to weather proof it. Don't forget to slide the tubing over one of the wires first. Don't ask me how I know that. :S
I have had wire antennas up in
the air for almost 30 years with no problem using that technique.

I hear the argument "SOLDER MELTS AT 360 DEGREES! WHAT GOOD IS THAT?"
Trust me, if a wire temperature soars to 360 degrees, you'll be busy elsewhere than with whether the solder has become soft.
