I've dealt with Circuit Specialists and that sounds like something
they'd do.
Go over to Fry's and get some Kester #44.

Just wondering about solder quality... Getting ready to build my K2
and want to make sure I have the right solder for the job. The
elecraft site lists several brands/types. This week I stopped into
Circuit Specialists in Mesa AZ and bought some solder. When I asked
if they had any Kester solder they sold me this stuff.
---- description----
RH60 Solder 1lb Spool, .031'' Diam, 60/40 (Sn%/Pb%) (RH60-1)
Here is quality solder manufactured to the highest standards at a
tremendous price. Circuit Specialists is a direct importer of this
product and our large purchasing power enables us to offer this
product at great savings. Manufactured with pure tin from Malaysia,
and lead ingots from Australia. This solder has obtained prestigious
Japanese Industry Standard (JIS) certification. It surpasses all
levels defined in JIS and MIL standards for solderability,
non-corrosiveness and conductivity. Melting points are 362°-365°F for
the 63/37 and 365°-383°F for the 60/40.

Anybody have opinions/experience with the solder from Circuit
Specialists? Would it be a good choice for the K2? It appears to
solder well and is quite clean. Some of the older kester that I have
seems to have a lot more flux than this stuff. Thoughts?
