I am a fairly new ham. I'll probably be thought of poorly by some, based on prior readings here, however I managed to grow up not learning to solder or build kits or anything similar. I have virtually no tools for such activities either. Based on my readings here and elsewhere I find the Elecraft community for the most part a totally helpful and friendly community. I have deluded myself into thinking that even with two left thumbs I may be able to build a few of their small kits and have a useful piece of test equipment when finished.
That said, because I realize how great a difference there can be in solder and the significant impact it can have on the finished project, I would gladly pay more for my kit to have the experts at Elecraft send me the optimum solder for my kit. I would also gladly and thankfully accept a list of tools with part numbers and sources that they have found best. I will never have the level of expertise they have so these things would be significant assets for myself and others at similar levels. I didn't hear any others suggesting they include such things without proper compensation and am not suggesting it either. I'm suggesting they offer an additional option box to check off to get things that not everyone has yet and may not know the best choices of. -- Support the entire Constitution, not just the parts you like. -- Leo Bricker 73's K5LDB _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [email protected] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
