[Elecraft] High Altitude Solder

[Don Wilhelm]

Lynn,

The best is liquid solder - one used to find it in hardware stores, but I
havn't looked recently.  Those loose electrons are the main thing that
improves the efficiency.  Now if someone could just come up with a way to
keep it from hardening so the electrons stay loose longer <G>.
