Recommendations for assembling a Kit

I am putting together a 3 Stage FM Transmitter and am looking for some advice.

I use a 30W pencil soldering tool but I need something with a smaller tip. (Solder on adjacent points ends up melting.)

I am having to use a 8X or 20x jewelers loop to make sure my solder isn't shorting out. :-)

Thanks.

Try this one from MPJA:

It's $15 plus shipping and has a 1/32" tip.

I've dealt with the odd fiddly job by wrapping a piece of ordinary 18swg tinned copper wire round the tip of my iron, leaving a little tab (1/4" or so) sticking out beyond the tip. The wire quickly reaches the same temperature as the iron, enabling soldering in confined spaces, etc.

Cheers, Pete.

Thanks. I will do that.

I am unemployed and my home repair business is down lately.

Your idea worked great.

For some reason(s) my transmitter just improves the reception of radio channels when I tune to an empty frequency. :-)

It's pert near impossible to find an empty frequency beween 95.0 and

105.o Khz.

I even replaced the one wire antenna with a dipole.
