Good solder tip on this website - RF Cafe Forums

The original RF Cafe Forums were shut down in late 2012 due to maintenance issues - primarily having to spend time purging garbage posts from the board. At some point I might start the RF Cafe Forums again if the phpBB software gets better at filtering spam.

Below are the old forum threads, including responses to the original posts.

Post subject: Good solder tip on this website

Hey. In case you haven't seen it, there is a great tip on using a old solder wick holder (the plastic kind) to wind solder onto to make it easy to hold and dispence while using it. It also prevents the terrible snarl of solder that accumulates on the large solder spools and leaves almost no waste on the bench. Here is the link.

RF Cafe began life in 1996 as "RF Tools" in an AOL screen name web space totaling 2 MB. Its primary purpose was to provide me with ready access to commonly needed formulas and reference material while performing my work as an RF system and circuit design engineer. The World Wide Web (Internet) was largely an unknown entity at the time and bandwidth was a scarce commodity. Dial-up modems blazed along at 14.4 kbps while tying up your telephone line, and a lady's voice announced "You've Got Mail" when a new message arrived...
