Years ago, when I was assembling Heath kits, I learned, maybe from one of the
Heath manuals, that a good solder connection starts with a good mechanical
connection.  So I built my radios with the idea that they might have worked
without any solder.  Maybe the builder of this kit did the same thing.

Last month, I assembled a Ten-Tech 30 meter QRP rig.  It was my first project
in many years.  Most of it was very close circuit board work.  There were only
a few places where I could get a good mechanical connection before I applied
the solder.  Times have sure changed.
