Weller WTCPT baby! Read the solder tutorial on the Elecraft site, it's
the best I've seen anywhere! 73 de Alex NS6Y

I was just going out to buy equipment to build this when I noticed:
Fine-tip temperature-controlled ESD-safe soldering station with 700
to 800°F tip
(370-430°C). Recommend a spade tip approx. 0.05" (0.13 mm) wide. Do
not use a
high-wattage iron or soldering gun since this can damage pads,
traces, or the parts
themselves.
I know it's minor but 0.05" is more like 1.3mm than 0.13mm...
Looking forward to getting my 80m on the air!
