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

[Steven Bible]

Hi Chris,

Sounds like an oxymoron, doesn't it?

In practice, you will see that no-clean leaves a thin film on the PCB.
Sure, you can technically leave it there, but since we are craftspeople and
we want a clean look, then we wish to clean it off.  There are no-clean
cleaning solutions (no kidding!) flux cleaners out there.  The handiest
thing is to use IPA (you can buy it at the drug store).  But at home it is
messy and smelly.

Overall, that's why I recommend organic water soluable flux.
