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.

Howdy, I new to amateur radio. Just received a K1 kit to build.
This is my first kit. After I get it built and get going I plan
to only operate with CW on 15 & 40 meters.
Any words of wisdom are welcome.
