Default use of wire nuts in antenna construction

Hi. I was thinking about building a 2m five-element quad using the format
of KD6GLF (see QST, Jan. 1995) and was wondering about alternative ways to
connect the AWG #12 wire to itself on the directors, driven element,
and reflectors other than soldering.

I was wondering if any property of the antenna would be changed by using
wire nuts instead of soldering the wire together. Has anyone had any
experience using wire nuts (on twisted wire) in antenna building?

Thanks for your help,
-john, W4PAH
