Topband: Silver solder

[n6rk@sonic.net]

I use the eutectic 3% silver, 97% tin solder for my radials.  You can get it 
at any welding shop.  It has about 100 deg C higher melting temp than tin-
lead.  I used it on all my ground radial crossovers 2 years ago and it is 
holding up well so far.  BTW, it's about $35 a pound!  I use it with liquid 
pure rosin flux.  The 40% silver stuff is really for brazing.  That would be 
overkill.
