Hi Someone on the list some time ago gave a very efficient way for cleaning the wire, but you need a desoldering iron with a "sucker" tip. You prepare a good blob of solder which you suck inside the tip, then slip an inch or so of your enamelled wire in the tip, wait 5 or ten seconds and you press the button of your desoldering iron, which sucks in both solder and enamel, and you can retrieve a perfect tinned end of your wire. I hope you get what I mean. I should add that a Hakko or other brand of desoldering iron is a most useful tool in a ham shack. 73 to all Jacques F9OJ K2 # 0937

Is it essential that bare wire not touch the toroid ring? _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [email protected] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
