How to build a 1W transmitter Tetsuo style

Step six : first soldered component that is connected to copper board
Estimated time for step six : 10-15 minutes

You will need the following:
Solder Iron
Solder
Copper Board
Components (27K resistor === (red-violet-orange))
Tweezers

Ok, so now we will solder the first resistor, this is an interesting one because you will solder directly to the copper board. This component has one end connected to square B, and the other connected to the board[x].

A) First get the 27K resistor. Start with soldering the resistor connector to square B just the same as you did with the capacitor, however remember it doesnt matter with resistors which way round they are connected, there is no '-' or '+' to worry about. To do this follow these sub steps:
i) bend the two connectors on the capcitor so they are 180 degrees apart

ii) hold the a connector ontop of the solder on square B with the tweezers. It is always important to make the solder connection at the shortest point possible between the solder, and the component.

iii) hold the soldering iron on top of the solder on Square B and wait until you see the solder go 'silvery' which means that it has melted.

iv) force the connector down into the melted solder, and take the soldering iron away.

v) hold the resistor in place until the solder has hardened again.

B) Now you must do the same to the other side of the resistor and the copper board. To do this follow these steps:
i) bend the connector so that it sits on the copper board, if necessary hold it down with the tweezers.

ii) hold the soldering iron on top of the copper board where you want to make the connection between the resistor and the board. Hold it there until the board is hot.

iii) push the solder wire into the point where the copper board is hot and the components connector meets.

iv) take away the solder wire and manipulate the resistor until it sits well in the melted solder.

v) take away the soldering iron and wait until the solder has hardened.

C) Cut off the excess wire from the component, cut this as close to the soldered joint as possible.

Then proceed to STEP SEVEN.
