[Elecraft] Solder Station

[Fghester@aol.com]

I have a RS solder station with an iron that can be switched between 20W & 
40W.  I have always used 20W position for light work on flimsy boards & works 
fine.  40W position for sturdy boards (like Elecraft?).  I'm also use to 
using a pointes tip and it works just great for me.  Questions:

1.  Is the 40W position O.K. for the K-1 kit?
2.  Am I really going to get "poor results" if I don't use a "chisel or 
spade" shaped tip?

Thanks!  WD9F / Woody
