Ditto that! On Sunday morning I put on some nice relaxing classical and boy did the solder flow nicely. One other think I've noticed is that putting too many components on at once results in leads getting in the way of soldering iron tip and feeding the solder. I have caught a couple of leads that were not soldered as I was trimming them. It has been easy for me to catch because as I grab ahold of the lead end that is sticking up in the air and am getting ready to snip it off with the other hand it actually felt loose. I also inspect the solder joints on both sides of the board after snipping off the extra wire. The components that I pre-trimmed were individually soldered every time just to make sure I didn't miss anything.

I should be pretty well finished with my K2 S/N 4786 either tonight or tomorrow night and hope to make my first QSO with it shortly thereafter!

Neither can I, but I've discovered that having the MP3 player in my computer on shufflle-play is plesant. No commercials thus no distractions...
