[Elecraft] PCB Cleaning - followup

[Michael Carter]

Hi Harold,

It's certainly true that cold solder joints
can arise from dirty/corroded PCB solder
lands.  The Elecraft boards in my K2/10 (now
17 years old, built by me) are very good
quality with plated-through holes and
durable solder mask.  I had occasion
to open my K2 to install the SSB and noise
blanker modules last week, and the boards
look as new as they did 17 years ago.  I
had more trepidation about the rework
and removal of some components than
I ever did at the initial construction.

If you've not had much soldering practice
recently, I suggest doing some practice
soldering of wires and trimmed component
leads to re-acquire your skill.  It will come
back......
