[Elecraft] Relay Removal Results

[Steve Kavanagh]

Thanks to all who shared their experience and
suggestions.  Some interesting approaches indeed.

I decided to try the spring-loaded solder sucker
method, since one was available. It worked well enough
(in conjunction with a bit of lead prodding) on all
the ungrounded pins, but I couldn't get the grounded
ones to stay hot long enough.  As there were only two
per relay I was able to get the relays out
successfully by heating these pins only (one at a
time, having cleaned out the other holes with the
solder sucker), combined with gentle prying.

All seems to have gone well as the K160RX they were in
is now apparently operating normally.

73,
