[Elecraft] Solder in Elecraft kits

[Tom McCulloch]

I haven't been following this thread, but the poster seems to make a valid 
point.

I built K2 #1103 several years ago and the thinking at that time was to use 
an alloy of silver solder.  So that's what I did.  Once my kit was built I 
more or less ignored the posts regarding solder, but about a year or so ago 
(I could be wrong here) I thought I read that using silver solder was a bad 
idea.

OK, so things change, my K2 was built, life goes on.

I believe the poster's point here is that he wanted to use the 'correct' 
type of solder (i.e. that which is currently thought to be appropriate for 
the Elecraft kits) and who better than the Elecraft guys to make that call 
(or at the very least the recommendation).  If they provided a small supply 
of that type of solder with the kits, the builder could try it out and 
decide for himself if that was they he wanted to guy and then purchase a 
pound.

Just my two cents.
