[Boatanchors] Solder 63/37 Alloy, .015" Dia., #44 RA

[Sandy W5TVW]

I too used Multicore for years and years.  I must say: "BEWARE!"  Multicore 
has some newer solder fluxes that are absolutely awful!  Maybe the kind that 
washes off easy or whatever.  Anyway, make sure you get the OLD type flux 
combination!  I have a pound of Multicore here that is unusable.
