I was just going out to buy equipment to build this when I noticed:

> Fine-tip temperature-controlled ESD-safe soldering station with 700 to 800°F tip
> (370-430°C). Recommend a spade tip approx. 0.05" (0.13 mm) wide. Do not use a
> high-wattage iron or soldering gun since this can damage pads, traces, or the parts
> themselves.

I know it's minor but 0.05" is more like 1.3mm than 0.13mm...

Looking forward to getting my 80m on the air!
