This is just an unsolicited testimonial for the Radio Shack butane
soldering iron (64-2182).  This little jewel will solder PL-259s on the
tower and travel in your pants pocket.  It's made in Ireland and imported
by the Shack, who say that it puts out the equivalent of 10-60 watts,
depending on how high you set it.  The flame is entirely contained within a
mantle-like metallic gauze insert in the tip, and the lighter is in the
cap.  It's not cheap (about $35) but after finally springing for one I
can't imagine being without it.
