[Elecraft] Solder....again.....

[Charles M Jenkins]

I've been just reading the mail because I don't actually have an Elecraft
kit yet. I got an inexpensive little Vectronics kit (not their soldering
course) to practice on as I haven't built anything with a circuit board
since the Heathkit HW 22A. My soldering looks bad, more of a glob, maybe not
properly adhered. I don't want to get a TC soldering station unless and
until I'm really going forward with building a big kit.

My question is: I have a 25 watt soldering iron. Is that too little? The
circuit board and components seem awfully small. Nobody every seems to
mention actual iron wattages.

                                                           Thank you,

                                                           Charles Jenkins
