[Elecraft] OT: Keying contacts

[Jozef Hand-Boniakowski]

A single sheet of white paper cut into strips placed between the 
contacts with some pressure on the paddle while you pull through will 
clean the contacts without damage.  Run a strip a few times through an 
you will see the results.  I use just under the amount of pressure that 
rips the paper.
