[Elecraft] Technique for installing C56 in KX1

[Steve Westfall]

Here's the technique I used to install C56, which has no solder pads and must be soldered to two pins on relay K1 instead.

After shaping the leads of C56 to have the correct spacing, I left them intact and straight.  I then slid the two leads underneath L7 and positioned c56 next to pins 2 and 3 on K1.  Sliding the leads under L7 pinned C56 down so that I could solder it to pins 2 and 3 on K1 without it moving.  After C56 was successfully soldered in place, I then cut the two leads and removed them from under L7.
