The secret to that is to get a big-honking-old-fashioned soldering iron to solder with. I have one that AT&T issued my FIL is about 1938 that works great. I had to change the cord to a modern one to keep from electrocuting myself or someone else. Willis 'Cookie' Cooke K5EWJ & Trustee N5BPS, USS Cavalla, USS Stewart

This note is for the log/web manager. I note that each time somebody comments on a thread ( the recent ones on metal roof), a new email is sent to all recipients. This is a nuisance cluttering the inbox. My experience with blogs is all comments are retained on the server Under one heading, and an email is sent daily to anybody interested in that subject upon request. Hope something could be done about that.
