[Elecraft] Importance of good coaxial jumpers

[Nicklas Johnson]

At risk of going way off topic, any tips for getting a nice, solid solder
connection on the shield in a reasonable amount of time?  I have
historically had a really hard time getting it to the point that I'm really
satisfied with it, and I can't help but wonder if I'm doing something
wrong, or if there's a 'trick' to making it easier.

Saying something doesn't make it true.  Belief in something doesn't make it
real. And if you have to lie to support a position, that position is not
worth supporting.
