  The instructions on page 49 instruct us to use a six inch length
of green hookup wire and remove the insulation.  The board is
shown mounted perpendicular to the RF board using the bare wire in
figure 6-14a. 
 The only fly-in-the-ointment I had to troubleshoot in building
#4962 is that one of the wires was touching C87 - and that potential
problem is mentioned in the instructions.
