K2 builders have company

[W6ODJ]

This should be some comfort to K2 builders who have problems due to a  
bad solder joint.  There are problems and then there are PROBLEMS.

...and, as the faulty solder joint was in one of the supercooled magnet
sections it gives new meaning to the term 'cold solder joint.'

I'd just like to say for the record that I was here in Toronto the whole time they were building that thing!  I've never even been to Switzerland or France, especially with a soldering iron in hand.  

This wouldn't have happened if Elecraft sold particle accelerator kits.
