t then, after a few
days, the connection will build up a thin layer of oxidation which
acts as an insulator and then only allows the connection to appear to
work correctly following a bit of 'agitation' (movement, or other
jolt to cause the oxidation to be broken for a short time).
Heath, if I recall, used to ID some devices by SIZE, specifically a
scale-drawn illustration you could lay the suspect component against.
Might work in this case, esp. since Elecraft used several different
SIZES of RFC in their kits... if all the same color, and possibly the
same color coding,
PED TIP of the wire into the solder
blow, because you want the bare copper to be the first thing to
contact the heat... bare copper conducts heat MUCH more quickly than
trying to 'force' the heat thru a layer of enamel.
Good luck,
