[Elecraft] Kester solder?

[Jay Rutherford]

I must be one of those fellows who don't make a mistrakes. I've used 
silver solder on all manner of projects since Elecraft recommended it 
back in 1999, and have never had a problem with it, even when 
removing parts from plated-through PCBs. I use the low residue version 
of the silver solder, which also used to be recommended. Ya pays yer 
money, and ya takes yer choice.
