[Elecraft] What is this stuff??

[Trevor Jacobs]

This is not correct. I have a roll of it sitting on the bench and it is 
definitely rosin core solder. I concur with Peter and Roelof on the mix. 
Kester makes darn good solder, and this is VERY good for surface mount 
work, especially in the small diameter. It's not easy to get the VERY 
small diameter with silver any longer. Last time I needed some, I had to 
special order it. Hang on to it.
