[Elecraft] Planning kit purchase

[Fred (FL)]

I'd seriously consider the .020 solder, like
Kester - as indicated on builder's pages on the
Elecraft website.  It is MUCH easier to work with,
and doesn't load the PCB up with too much.  It also
has less resin/rosin (sp?)  I went for a $25 soldering
station - from Circuit Specialists Inc.  Good
investment.  Also FLUSH-CUTTING cutters, small, are
a MUST!  And a solder-sucker.  I've heard that Radio
Shacks solder sucker with the rubber bulb, isn't a
bad one.  Magifying glass, very small electronic
tweezers, ..............

Sounds like fun!
