[Elecraft] OT solder pot

[Don Wilhelm]

Yes Tom, the Elecraft supplied wire is 'heat-strippable'.  Whether that heat
is applied with a 'solder blob', a solder pot, or a BIC lighter flame makes
little difference (except that the disposition of the bits of burned-off
enamel are a bit different for each method) - the 'BIC' method requires an
extra tinning step.
