Hi.

For outdoor telephone networking works, crimping is the most practically feasible & efficienct way as soldering is not that conveniently available. When done properly, noise shouldn't be the issue, considering the pretty limited audio spectrum telephone line to handle.

If the joints are crimped or screwed down together tightly, the solder should only cover the surfaces of the joint considering the viscosity of the molten solders.

Yes, oxidation surely degrades any metal joints. That's why soldering
must be done immediately after the 'coldwelding' of the joints is completed so that the solder will embody the entire joint, removing any moisture therein & ensuring air-tight & dirt-free environment therein.

The most important function of the solder, instead of conducting current as it was so commonly assumed, is to secure the perfect coldweled joints by providing the required phyiscal strength on to the joint so it would NOT get loose & open-circuited as time goes by.

Good listening
