Hi Roy:

NOT AT ALL!  60/40 content solders are just fine as well. But since 63/37 
was readily available, and because it leaves less chance of a cold joint, I 
chose to provide info for that type of solder.

All the vendors noted offer 60/40 content solder as well.

By the way, the Multicore link which Joe (W2KJ) just posted to the 
reflector is a really GOOD one! Their price is less than HALF of that shown 
by the other vendors on the list, and they will sell single-lot rolls. I 
just called them to confirm that. I think Elecraft will be adding R.S 
Hughes http://rshughes.com/products/mm00979.html to the solder vendor list 
soon... at least, that's the impression I get.

73,
