Ron,
I found a similar technique that improves the ease of stripping. I
start the blob of solder on the very end of the wire, so it heats the
copper directly, then I drag the blob toward the toroid...seems to
work for me.
When soldering the toroid in, I also heat the pad a little longer
than usual to assure a clean joint. Can't do this too long, though
or you'll pop the pad.
I am awaiting a part (diode) from Elecraft (they've been great).
This is the only thing between me and Alignment Part II. I'm DYING
to actually receive on 40M. Then I'll relax and realize that this
thing, in my hands, will actually work!
