[Elecraft] ethanol/isopropyl

[W3FPR - Don Wilhelm]

Prices will vary from area to area.  Here, the grain alcohol at the liquor
store is priced less per unit volume than a similar concentration isopropyl
alcohol at the pharmacy.  The last 750 ml bottle I bought was about $12, and
I was quoted about $10 per pint for isopropyl.

73,
