[Elecraft] K1

[JohnE]

Hello John.
I've built a several Elecraft kits -

Don't try to build it without a temperature-controlled solder station.
I use an Aoyue 937 (No connection to them - just a satisfied customer).
But there are plenty others.

Also make sure you use nice solder - like .032 60/40 solder.

A digital multimeter would be handy too.  Nothing too fancy, but there's
a lot of places it will help out.  For me, I have a hard time reading the
color bands on resistors. So - I double check values before installing
resistors.

Good luck - its lots of fun building kits.
