Great to hear you have your kits!
No need for the battery holder. I sent out the last kit with one in it. I included it until they ran out.
Solder? I don't think so. Jumper wire, yes.
The only thing I find annoying about the boards is that the IC solder pads are a tad on the small side.
Other than that, they are top rate.
I try to make a good finished product - :-)
Enjoy and I'm here to help and answer any questions.
Mike.

i just picked up my AtomaHawk from the post office... at first glance, the
whole thing looks as good, or better, than any of the kits i've seen in
electronics stores & catalogs. the boards look great, plenty of IC
sockets, even solder!
i did notice a coin-cell battery holder... i guess i won't need that?
i just hope i'll have time over the holidays to do it...
