Finally ordered my K2 Friday morning and  they shipped it Friday
afternoon.  Wow, some kind of service.

Now to my big problem!
I have to built the K2.  The Wilderness Radio NORCAL  40-A is the only
kit I have built.  (well I built an audio filter and I can solder coax
connectors)

Some questions have come to mind that I hope you folks can help with:

1. What solder to use?  I have looked for the RS 64-013 that is
recommended on the Elecraft site and have not found any yet.  The RS
stores checked so far say they are out but it is still in the computer.
(I ordered the Auto-Temp soldering Iron Station with Ceramic Heater,
SR-976, from Circuit Specialists.  Hope this will work.)
2. Are there some real important things I need to do or know that are
not in the manual.  Such as common errors and etc.?
