[hpsdr] Atlas, How do I hand solder this thing?

[Mike Naruta]

Thanks Bill and Frank.


Last year a soldered a break in a winding of an
IF transformer in a Hallicrafters S-38, so I
guess that I've got small down.

I plan on trying tweezers to hold the part while
putting my dual tip Iron on it to sink into the
solder on the pads.  I'm just scared of cooking
such tiny parts.
