G3KEV ----- Original Message ----- From: "John Rabson" To: Sent: Wednesday, February 23, 2011 10:23 AM Subject: LF: Soldering enamelled copper wire LF, I have a reel of such wire labelled as follows: "Wire copper enamelled Part 1230983 0.71 mm 1/2 kg Solder only in well ventilated area. Fumes are toxic" The manufacturer is stated to be Rowan Cable Products Ltd. I found their website but don't seem able to get into it to find out whether the covering of the wire is solderable and (if so) whether any special techniques are required. Can anyone advise, please? 73 John F5VLF
