Hi Jon,

I remember that story also when I was training in China Lake, probably an
urban myth ;-)

I'm afraid you are not alone as an older one here!

I was always trained during my early years working with the Cat A under
the WS6536, DoD Std 2000, etc days that Bev stated to reduce tin pest.
I was informed that during the cold war in the 70's that line of radars
were installed in the northern part of Canada to detect incoming
missiles attacks. The extreme cold temperature caused solder failures
related to tin pest or was attributed to tin pest.  I believe my Cat A
without question. Anyone else remember being told that?  I am one of the
older ones here.  Jon
