Yes, SOLDER/CRIMP only is the way to go. Soldered tip for the center conductor and crimp the shield and use silver/teflon connectors.

Another Tabasco sauce vote here,
Growing up in New Mexico which is the Green Chile capital I love it over eggs and potatoes for breakfast but when I started driving over the road, it's not to be found outside of NM (with few exceptions).
