[Elecraft] KX1 EMBARKATION of #001363

[Alexandra Carter]

As for crystal clear, I'll just say now, read the instructions  
carefully on the crystals, since the GND wires are placed on the  
sides not on the tops like you've seen in tons of stuff, and keep  
some nice wires like off of LEDs or even your own bus wire for the  
ground wires since the regular old resistor leads etc are often  
copper plated and tinned soft iron and will want to stick to your  
soldering iron tip. 73 de Alex NS6Y.
