[Elecraft] Soldering station recommendation in preparation for building a K1

[Stephen Shearer]

I use a WELLER SOLDERING STATION -- MODEL WTCPN 60 watt
BUT my REAL recommendation is to get Kester 62, 36, 2 Sn, Pb, Ag solder. 
  It can be had in 1# AND smaller packs.  It DOES a great job.  The 2% 
silver is what makes it work super...
