SMD soldering at home. I'm building a board. Live. Almost successfully.

Part three of the SMD saga. This time I show how to use some of the techniques mentioned in second lecture to build a small power RF amplifier using MMIC.
I explain how to prepare board for placing the components, how to place them and, finally, how to solder the board using hot air reflow process and how to use board preheater. I also explain why reflowing electrolytic capacitors or other sensitive components can be dangerous for them.
