[Elecraft] Another K2 Toroid question

Sat Mar 8 12:00:01 2003

Hi

Elecraft is usually generous with the wire lengths. This allows you an end
long enough to work with when winding. Just cut the wires about 1 in for
stripping. Elecraft includes about twice the amount of wire you will need to
build the kit so there is no reason to skimp on the wire.

If you have a solder sucker type iron, use it to strip the leads. Just
insert the wire in the nozzle, add a little solder, wait 3 or 4 seconds and
suck the excess solder off of the leads.
