>From monitoring the mail here, it would seem like
a lot (most?) of the problems with the kits are solder
related. I had no problems with anything I have built, 
despite very fast build times, and I would guess that
is because I have had LOTS of soldering practice.
(solder all day long for years and you cant help
but get good at it?)

The correct solder helps a lot, as does a good 
adjustable temp soldering iron.

Elecraft could eliminate one variable by including
solder, or offering it along with the kits.

Maybe they SHOULD offer tools and solder, after all,
you can already customize the options a lot!
