[Elecraft] 1st question, just starting...

[Don Wilhelm]

I agree, and you will find a good article on soldering at the Elecraft
website too (look in Builder
Resources) - Tom Hammond's (N0SS) work, complete with figures showing what
good and poor solder joints look like.  Or, check out my soldering article
(with photos) on page 26 of QRP Quarterly, Fall 2006.
