[sdiy] pros and cons of SMT in DIY

[MOB]

For years, I've seen magnet wire used in portable ham radio equipment 
that was carried in packs, banged around in cars, and operated out of 
doors in all sorts of conditions.  Construction methods included dead 
bug, ugly, through-hole PC and SMT PC.  As long as solder joint 
integrity was good at each end, there was never a problem with the 
magnet wire connections.
