[DSP-10] Jumper wires

[Doug Bade]

         When I built my first unit, I did it from the QST article and 
boards, as well as schmatics and drawings... ordered off the web site.. I 
kind of did my own thing, and did the wires last too.. so it would not rock 
around as much.. It is a suggestion I agree with. I am sure there are pro's 
and con's each way, just worked better to my liking too.. Doug KB8GVQ
