--- - - - --- WARNING! WARNING! WARNING! Proper ESD precautions dictate that plastic or foam shouldn't be anywhere near your ESD safe work area. Technically, "not anywhere near" means at least a foot away although I would suggest at least three, but preferable six feet away so that it's not within arm's reach. Therefore, DO NOT USE a plastic or a foam egg carton to sort/organize hardware! Only use a recycled paper egg cartoon, although I prefer a "mini" muffin tin for this purpose. In hindsight, a recycled paper egg carton might be better from an ESD perspective, although a paper carton might contain acids that can lead to corrosion over time. (Probably not a concern for someone who completes their K3 within 24 hours, but I had to set mine aside for a couple of months mid-build due to health reasons.) 73, Gary KI4GGX ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
