[Elecraft] Weller temp setting for KX1 build

[Brett gazdzinski]

I built all my elecraft stuff with the soldering iron set at about
630-660F.
Bigger parts needed more heat, but for almost everything small, 
and the .020 solder, that heat was enough to give a nice solder
connection.

I had zero solder problems on all my stuff.
