[Elecraft] More on N6KR method for setting the reference

[Bob - AG5Q]

For a while we tried using the ceramic tuning tools at work and found them too fragile, even for small caps. Those with small metal
inserts in a plastic holder last a lot longer.  I've been using one  from 'Spectrol'  for several years and it works fine with caps
like C22.   Mine is a freebie that I got from a distributor.

I've got a handful of ceramic tuning tools. Mine are great but BRITTLE! The
chisel point tools for turning slugs are FB. But the blade-end types for
twisting ceramic trimmers chip very easily when encountering a tight cap
like C22.
