Steve,
You might try ordering from Mouser - they state their export policy as
follows "Mouser exports to over 100 countries with no minimum order or
handling fee. Go to www.mouser.com/terms for details and restrictions."
I have no experience, just passing the info.
I buy from Mouser often and they are real and yes they will mail to
Europe at a cost equal to the actual mail cost. They carry EVERYTHING. I
order by credit card on the Internet and they must be putting the order
together as soon as I have it in their computer. I get delivery in 3
days. It takes longer to you I suspect.
Checked the catalog and they have standard old lead based solder in
1 pound spools. A couple of spools should be a lifetime supply :-)

My understanding from the radio engineers at work is that lead
solder is permitted for use in the aerospace and military
industries because
the lead free stuff is not reliable enough. What will become difficult in
time is obtaining leaded solder for amateur use in the EU; it is no longer
stocked by Maplins (the nearest thing we have in the UK to radio shack)
which is odd because they also sell kits which need lead solder
to make. So
it might be a good idea if the fine folks at Elecraft were to offer a roll
of lead solder as a purchasable option for those of us who are unable to
source it in Europe.
That's all folks,
