[Elecraft] Trouble With Toroids

I made the toroids for my first K2 using the solder blob method which took an 
eternity to get the toroids tinned.  On the present K2 I am using the Hakko 
808 to tin my toroids, and it is a shear pleasure.  Just as Steve AA8AF said in 
a previous statement, the Hakko 808 makes toroid tinning a real joy and I 
find it cuts the time in half to prepare toroids.  The Hakko 808 is also useful 
for removing solder from those adjacent holes that are too close and get filled 
due to the capillary effect.  The 808 is definitely a tool I wouldn't be 
without.  Roy Morris  W4WFB
