As a totally off topic comment, you can save yourself a few cents if you use the stick on a Q-Tip for a roll pin. It fits perfectly, and you can remove it easily as well. I keep a few Q-Tips in my Power Pole box, and just cut off the cotton ends, and then push the stick in, where the roll pin goes. Then much like a coax connector center pin, I cut off the excess. Keeps the connectors together, and is removable later. I also never solder my power poles, for fear of creating a really small radius bend point. -- 73's, and thanks, Dave (NK7Z) For software/hardware reviews see: http://www.nk7z.net ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to [email protected]
