[Elecraft] Stripping enamel from toroid wires

[John Wiener]

Ron,

I found a similar technique that improves the ease of stripping.  I  
start the blob of solder on the very end of the wire, so it heats the  
copper directly, then I drag the blob toward the toroid...seems to  
work for me.

When soldering the toroid in, I also heat the pad a little longer  
than usual to assure a clean joint.  Can't do this too long, though  
or you'll pop the pad.

I am awaiting a part (diode) from Elecraft (they've been great).   
This is the only thing between me and Alignment Part II.  I'm DYING  
to actually receive on 40M.  Then I'll relax and realize that this  
thing, in my hands, will actually work!
