Chris,

In my experience with swaged hardware, especially when used in your
frequency range, they should be soldered.  I work with RF in that range
in low wattage (5-50) and if they are not soldered and become loose,
it's a nightmare to troubleshoot.  Just swaging is not enough.
eventually, they will come loose as the fiberglass board compresses.
