[Elecraft] Stripping toroid leads

I always figured the enamel should be removed.  I just scrape them 
with a small razor knife which leaves the copper bright and ready for 
tinning.  Melting the enamel with my solder iron results in a messy 
glob on the iron and not a very clean lead.  I don't own a solder pot 
but could see that would work except for contamination of the solder 
if you do many.

I am mostly winding air coils for VHF equipment, so its what is 
normally coating magnet wire.
