[Elecraft] Radio Shack Solder ??

[Jack Smith]

Went to the basement and retrieved the empty spool (never throw things 
like that out - always good for odds and ends of wire). It's 62/36/2, 
with the 2% being silver. Radio Shack part number 64-035, and it's still 
shown in the on-line catalog at $3.99 for a 1 oz spool. 1 oz of solder 
lasts a long time. I do a fair bit of building and that's 6 months worth 
or more for me.

There is also a larger diameter 62/36/2, think it is 0.022" PN 64-013, 
on a 1.5 oz spool.

There's probably a better source for 62/36/2 solder than RS, but it's 
decent stuff, unlike a lot of the things one finds there.
