[Towertalk] Soldering at the top of the tower

[k4oj]

unless you are overapllying - the paste flux goes up in smoke so to 
speak with only an occassional droplet.

I also clean the oxidation off of the "inner" aluminum tubing before 
applying noalox and overlapping it into the next size up - to me using 
flux is similar - it is like insurance!
