[Elecraft] Why not trim relay leads?

Fri Aug 2 18:34:01 2002

From what I've read even building other kits, the mechanical shock of
actually trimming the leads can damage the inards of the relays.  I don't
know if it's true, I've built kits that go on to have you trim the leads
anyway due to size contraints. I would say if you don't have to trim them to
fit in a tight space, leave 'em long.
