The ones we've done here in GB were soldered with SN62. There
isn't much mechanical stress on these, so the softer solder works
fine. Also, the lower melting point allows you to get on and off
the heat quickly, avoiding damage/discoloration to the gold-plated
brass.<br>

Are these intended to be soldered with eutectic solder or silver
solder?<br>

Rick suggested last fall that the Green Bank machine shop could
assist with fabrication of the new dipoles. We've run into a
snag and could use some help. The soldering expert in our
university machine shop has retired, and the current staff have
not been able to achieve the quality in the soldering we need
for the antennas (see attached). Would it be possible for us to
send the parts for the remaining 19 dipoles to Green Bank for
soldering? <br>
