I thought it was just an EU thing, didn't realise lead was going out of
fashion your side of the pond too.
I was going to ask, even before this thread... What do Elecraft and
"Doctor Solder" recommend now that 60/40 doesn't officially exist?
... and what about temperature? Most of the lead-free solders have a
much lower melting-point, which has pros and cons: probably means less
thermal damage to components from your iron, but might also mean hot
components like your PA desolder themselves earlier ;-)

Hard work has a future payoff. Laziness pays off now.
