Hi all,

I just received a big box from California with the parts for my K2 in it!!

I already have access to a Weller WLC100 soldering iron; however, this is 
not one of the recommended irons that I've run across either on
elecraft.com or on the reflector.  A web search didn't turn up much
useful information for me in terms of how it compares with other
"recommended" irons such as the Weller WTCPT.

Will the WLC100 be adequate to build the kit?  ESD concerns?  Adequate
temperature control?  Anyone know anything about this particular model?
I'd like to do it right and will invest in a WTCPT or equivalent if
necessary.  Thanks for the help!
