[Elecraft] Tororids

[Bob Nielsen]

I recall at one time downloading a short video showing the solder  
blob method of stripping enamel from wires.  I found it to be quite  
helpful and believe it was from the Emtech web site, but can't locate  
the URL.  Perhaps someone on the list has this bookmarked and can  
post it.
