Gary,
In the interest of obtaining a better tinning of the leads as an end
result, I would suggest that you continue to 'waste solder' and use the
solder blob method.
While a lighter flame will remove the enamel, in my experience that
technique leaves a residue that inhibits tinning the leads.
It is the tinned lead that is the end goal - without proper tinned
leads, one will end up with a malfunctioning transceiver.

Hi to the list,
Was wondering if anyone has any tips for stripping the enamel off the
enameled wire for coils,transformers etc.
I find that using the hot blob of solder method wasteful of solder and
not 100%, so am currently using a mixture of a lighter flame and the
solder technique which seems to be better than just the blob of solder
method..
So is there a better way or how do you do them?
