[Elecraft] "No-clean" solder.

[Ken Knecht]

In 1999 or so when I purchased K2 #320 the Kester "No-clean' solder was 
recommended by Elecraft.

I quote from a April 12 1999 message on the reflector by Wayne N6KR titled 
"Correction on Kester solder part numbers"

"Kester actually has two different types of .031" diameter, 2% silver 
solder. The Kester part numbers are:

24-7150-8800 is 1.1% flux by weight ("no-clean," or "245" flux)
24-7150-0027 is 3.3% flux by weight (good ol' standard "44" flux)

Then later he says:

I'm leaning towards the -8800 because it should leave less flux residue,..."

Many other posts at this time also recommended the 245 "no-clean". I used 
this solder on my kit and it still works.
