[Elecraft] soldering

[Stuart Rohre]

My NASA soldering school in the early 60's had us solder the lead first, 
then trim near flush, unless it was an earth bound application, and you 
would leave a bit to clip on a test lead for testing.  Usually, you would 
just clip flush to the top of the fillet, and use test points for testing.

The big thing with my instructor was to have a proper fillet curve, 
indicating that the joint was fully wetted and heated.  Those were shiny 
joints even without having high tin solder in those days.
